Answer 1

Finding the time to make a trip

What do we know?

The length of their trip is 70 miles

Their velocity is 50 miles per hour

We know

`v=(x)/(t)`

v: velocity, x: distance and t: time

We want to know the total time, then we clear the equation

`\begin{gathered} t=(x)/(v) \\ =(70)/(50) \\ =(7)/(5)=1.4 \end{gathered}`

How much time will it take Pat to make this trip?

Answer: 1.4 hours
