You need to plan a road trip. You are traveling at an average speed of 40 miles an hour.

Given a distance in miles as input (the code to take input is already present), output to the console the time it will take you to cover it in minutes.


Sample Input:

150


Sample Output:

225


Explanation: It will take 150/40 = 3. 75 hours to cover the distance, which is equivalent to 3. 75*60 = 225 minutes.

Answer:

Certainly! Here is a sample code in Python that will take a distance in miles as input, calculate the time it will take to cover that distance at an average speed of 40 miles per hour, and output the time in minutes:

# Get distance in miles from user

distance = int(input("Enter the distance in miles: "))

# Calculate time in hours

time_hours = distance / 40

# Calculate time in minutes

time_minutes = time_hours * 60

# Print time in minutes

print("It will take", time_minutes, "minutes to cover the distance.")

This code first prompts the user to input the distance in miles. It then calculates the time it will take to cover that distance at an average speed of 40 miles per hour by dividing the distance by the speed. The resulting time in hours is then converted to minutes by multiplying it by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour). Finally, the time in minutes is printed to the console.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
