Question

How much time should be allowed for a 605-mile car trip if the car will be traveling at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

Answer 1

(605 miles) / (55 miles/hour) = 11 hours

That's driving time ONLY. It doesn't include stops for food, rest, or pits.

Answer 2

V=d/t D=vt T=d\v Since we are solving for time, we use the third equation: t=d/v. Distance: 605 miles Velocity: 55 mph T=605/55=11. Since the velocity was in miles per HOUR, our time is in hours as well. 11 hours. Hope this helps!
