Question

You are leaving for a party at your cousin’s house in a city that is 150 km away. You will travel at an average rate of 50 km/hr. How long will it take you to arrive?

Answer 1

Answer : It take time to arrive will be 3 hours.

Explanation :

Average rate : It is defined as the ratio total distance to total time.

Formula used :

`\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}`

As per question,

Total distance traveled = 150 km

Average rate = 50 km/hr

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

`\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}`

`50km/hr=\frac{150km}{\text{Total time}}`

`\text{Total time}=(150km)/(50km/hr)=3hr`

Therefore, it take time to arrive will be 3 hours.

Answer 2

3 hours, because for every 50 km equals one hour 150 divided into 50 equals 3
