Question

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 1000 ft in 12 seconds. how long in hours will it take to travel 175 miles?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

3.08 hours

Explanation:

We assume you're interested in the time in hours.

`175\text{ mi}*\frac{12\text{ s}}{1000\text{ ft}}*\frac{5280\text{ ft}}{1\text{ mi}}*\frac{1\text{ h}}{3600\text{ s}}=(175*12*5280)/(1000*3600)\text{ h}=\boxed{3.08\text{ h}}`

It will take 3.08 hours to travel 175 miles at that speed.
