Question

the Hamilton eighth-grader took a trip to Myrtle beach. They drove a speed of 60 miles per hour. The trip was 570 miles. Write and Solve the equation to determine how many hours,h, it took them to travel. (PLEASE PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK)​

Answer 1

9.5 hours

Explanation:

Your general equation is this:

y = mh + b

There is no b value because there is no starting value of miles.

y is the total number of miles driven. m is the amount of miles per hour. h is the number of hours.

570 = 60h

To find h, divide both sides by 60.

h = 9.5 hours

Hope this helps!
