Answer 1

0.443 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

time = total distance / mph

time = 50 / 112.9094

time ≈ 0.443 hours

Answer 2

0.443 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given following:

• speed: 112.9094 mph

• distance: 50 miles

Formula:

`\sf time \ taken = (distance)/(speed)`

Substitute values to find time taken:

`\sf \rightarrow time = (50)/(112.9094 )`

evaluate

`\sf \rightarrow time = 0.4428329262`

rounded to nearest thousandth

`\sf \rightarrow time = 0.443`
