Question

Tameron is driving 540 miles to college. If he drives at an average rate of 45 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to get 3/4 of the way there?

Answer 1

9 hours brcause you divide 540 by 4

Answer 2

Answer: 9 hours

Explanation:

Given : Tameron is driving 540 miles to college.

i.e. Total distance = 540 miles.

Average speed = 45 miles per hour

`(3)/(4)` of the total distance =
`(3)/(4)*540=405\text{ miles}`

Formula :
`\text{Time }=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}`

Then, the the time taken to cover
`(3)/(4)` of the total distance

`=\frac{405\text{ miles}}{45\text{ miles per hour}}\\\\=9\text{ hours}`

Hence, it will take 9 hours to get 3/4 of the way there.
