Answer:


40h

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the velocity formula to solve


v = (d)/(t)

In this question, you are given velocity
v = 45km/h, and you are given a distance,
d = 1800km. Time in this question is what you'll need to find.

Start by rearranging the velocity formula, to isolate for t.


v = (d)/(t)

Start by multiplying both sides by t


v(t) = (d)/(t)(t)\\\\vt = d

Then divide both sides by v.


vt(1)/(v) = d/v\\ \\t = (d)/(v)

Now that you've isolated for time, sub in your values and calculate.


t = (d)/(v) = (1800km)/(45km/h) = 40 h
