Question

Jeanine has driven 45 miles of a 240- mile trip.

If she is traveling at or below the 65 mile -per hour speed limit, how much longer can Jeanine expect to spend completing the trip?

Answer 1

Answer: We can use the formula:

time = distance / speed

to calculate the time it will take Jeanine to complete the trip, assuming she drives at or below the speed limit.

She has already driven 45 miles, so she has 240 - 45 = 195 miles left to travel.

If she drives at 65 miles per hour or less, the maximum speed limit, her travel time will be:

time = distance / speed

time = 195 miles / 65 miles per hour

time = 3 hours

So Jeanine can expect to spend an additional 3 hours completing the trip, assuming she drives at or below the speed limit.
