Question

Create an expression to find the time for the given distance and rate, and find the value of the expression.

d = 315 kilometers;r 35 kilometers/hour

The time is ___ hours.

Answer 1

To find the time it takes for a body to travel a certain distance given its rate, divide the distance with the rate. By letting t be the time, the expression would be,

t = d / r

From the given,
t = 315 km / (35 km/h) = 9 h

Thus, it takes 9 hours for a body to travel 315 km given that its speed is 35 km/h.
