Question

A person is skateboarding to their local skate shop to pick up some sick rims. They skate at 8 miles per hour. The store is 2.5 miles away. How long will it take them to get to the store in hours?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.3125 hours

Explanation:

The formula for time taken to cover a distance is:

= Distance / Speed

Distance = 2.5 miles

Speed = 8 miles per hour

Time taken = 2.5 / 8

= 0.3125 hours

In minutes this is:

= 0.3125 * 60 mins

= 19 mins approx
