9. Mr. Smith went skiing in Maine last weekend. He traveled 523 kilometers to Sugarloaf from

Leominster. His average speed was 109 km/hr. How long did it take Mr. Smith to hit the slopes?

Answer 1

To find out how long it took Mr. Smith to ski in Maine, we divide the distance he traveled, 523 km, by his average speed, 109 km/hr, resulting in a travel time of approximately 4.8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it took Mr. Smith to travel to Sugarloaf from Leominster, we can use the formula for time which is:

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

We are given the distance Mr. Smith traveled, which is 523 kilometers, and his average speed of 109 km/hr. Plugging these values into the formula:

Time = 523 km ÷ 109 km/hr

Time = 4.8 hours (rounded to one decimal place)

So, it took Mr. Smith approximately 4.8 hours to reach Sugarloaf and hit the slopes.

Answer 2

Time taken by Mr. smith = 4.80 hour (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance travel by Mr. smith = 523 kilometer

Average speed of Mr. smith = 109 km/hr

Find;

Time taken by Mr. smith

Computation:

Time taken = Distance cover / Speed

Time taken by Mr. smith = Distance travel by Mr. smith / Average speed of Mr.

smith

Time taken by Mr. smith = 523 / 109

Time taken by Mr. smith = 4.798 hr

Time taken by Mr. smith = 4.80 hour (Approx.)
