Question

A group of college students eager to get to Florida on a spring break drove the 735-mi trip with only minimum stops. They computed their average speed for the trip to be 56.4 mi/h. How many hours did the trip take?

Answer 1

The formula for calculating time is expressed as

time = total distance//speed

From the information given,

total distance = 735

average distance = 56.4

Thu,

time = 735/56.4

time = 13.03

The trip took 13.03 hours
