Question

Juan is making a delivery to a store. The total trip will be 450 miles. He is driving at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour. He has already driven 30 miles. How

much longer will it take him to get to the store?

Answer 1

60x + 30 = 450 when solved, it will take Juan 7 hours to get to the store.

Answer 2

It will take Juan 7 hours to get to the store.

First, we need to calculate the remaining distance Juan needs to drive by subtracting the distance he has already driven from the total trip distance:

Remaining distance = Total trip distance - Distance already driven

Remaining distance = 450 miles - 30 miles

Remaining distance = 420 miles

Next, we can calculate how long it will take Juan to complete the remaining distance by dividing the remaining distance by his driving rate:

Time to complete remaining distance = Remaining distance / Driving rate

Time to complete remaining distance = 420 miles / 60 miles per hour

Time to complete remaining distance = 7 hours

Therefore, it will take Juan 7 hours to complete the remaining 420 miles of the trip and get to the store.
