Solve, show each step.

Answer 1

It would take 6.5 hours to travel 351 miles

Explanation:

A car traveled 162 miles in 3 hours.

Distance = speed * time

distance =162 miles

time is 3 hours

Let x be the speed of the car

`162= x  \cdot 3`

divide both sides by 3

x= 54

speed of the car is 54 miles per hour

`time =(distance)/(speed)`

distance is 351 miles

`time =(351)/(54)`

time = 6.5 hours
