Answer:

3.96 MINUTES

Step-by-step explanation:

Karl likes to use cruise control when he drives on

the highway. After setting cruise control at 33.53

m/s (75 mph). At this speed, how long would it

take Karl to travel 8 kilometers?

VELOCITY = DISTANCE/TIME

OR

V=D/T

SO

VT=D

SO

T=D/V

THE DISTANCE IS 8 KM

THE VELOCITY IS 75 MPH

THERE ARE 1.61 KM PER MILE

SO

75M[H =

75 X 1.61 KM/H =

121 KM/HR

T=D/V

T=8/121 =0.066 HOUR =

0.066 X 60 MINUTES =

3.96 MINUTES

CHECK

75 MPH =

(75 X 1.61) KM/60 MINUTES =

120,75 KM/60 MINUTES=

2.01 KM/MINUTE

to travel 8 K,M WILL TAKE

8/2.01 = 3.98 minutes
