Question

A driver calculates his trip to be 475 miles, using the 50 mile per hour transit time, how long should it take this driver to reach his destination?

A. 6.25 hours
B. 9.5 hours
C. 8.5 hours
D. 10 hours

Answer 1

To calculate the time it will take for the driver to reach the destination, divide the distance by the speed. The correct answer is 9.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it will take for the driver to reach the destination, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Given that the distance is 475 miles and the speed is 50 miles per hour, we can calculate:

Time = 475 miles / 50 miles per hour = 9.5 hours

Therefore, it should take the driver 9.5 hours to reach their destination. So the correct answer is B. 9.5 hours.
