To answer this question, simply divide the total distance by the average rate of 50 km and you should be left with hours if you use dimensional analysis.


=150\ km ×
(1\ hour)/(50\ km)

= 3 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

From the question,

Distance (d) = 150km

Average rate (s) = 50km/hr

Time (t) = ?

Now,

Average rate (s) =
(Distance (d))/(Time(t))

50 =
(150)/(t)

50 t = 150

Therefore, it will take 3 hours to arrive.

Hope it helps!
