Question

A circular race track is 62.8 miles around. A driver is moving at 5 miles an hour driving from the outside to the center of the track. How long will it take for him to arrive?

Calculate the time it takes to travel to the center.

Answer 1

G I V E N

Speed of driver = 5 miles/hours

Distance to be covered = 62.8 miles

F O R M U L A ~ U S E D

Speed = Distance/Time

S O L U T I O N

Time = Distance/Speed

= 62.8 miles / 5 miles / hour

= 12.56 hours

It will take 12.56 hours to cover 62.8 miles, if the driver is moving

with 5 miles/hours
