Question

Distance travelled = rate (or speed) * time.If Alan drives 44 miles at a constant speed of 44 mph. How long will it take? (Be sure to includeunits.)

Answer 1

We are given that Alan at a constant speed of 44 miles per hour. We are asked to determine the time to travel a distance of 44 miles. To do that we will use the following formula:

`d=vt`

Where:

`\begin{gathered} d=\text{ distance} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \\ t=\text{ time} \end{gathered}`

Now, since we are asked to determine the time we will divide both sides by the velocity:

`(d)/(v)=t`

Now we substitute the values:

`(44miles)/(44(miles)/(hour))=t`

Now we solve the operations:

`1\text{hour}=t`

Therefore, the time to travel 44 miles is 1 hour.
