Question

A woman leaves home at 7 am and drives to New York City 200 miles away. If she averages 50 miles per hour, what time will she arrive at the city

Answer 1

The woman will arrive at New York City at 11 am.

Explanation:

At an average speed of 50 miles per hour, it will take the woman 4 hours to reach New York City. If she leaves at 7 am, she will arrive at 11 am. Here's the math:

200 miles / 50 miles per hour = <<200/50=4>>4 hours

7 am + 4 hours = 11 am

So the woman will arrive at New York City at 11 am.

Answer 2

Find time needed to drive 200 miles:

50 miles = 1 hour

1 mile = 1/50 hour

200 miles = 1/50 x 200 = 4 hours

Find time of arrival:

7:00am + 4 hours = 11am

Answer: She will arrive at 11am
