Question

Hello can anyone help with this?

The distance between Heysham and the Isle of Man is 80 km.
A hovercraft travels at 50 km per hour.
How long does the journey take?

Answer 1

1 hour 36 minutes

Explanation:

Amount of time the journey takes = 80km ÷ 50km/h

= 1.6h

= 1h 36mins

Answer 2

50/1 =80/x
50x=80
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 50 to get variable by itself
x= 1.6
Your answer is 1.6 of an hour for the journey
