Question

Jack is driving from Bangor to Portland at a rate of 68 miles per hour. The distance is 107 miles. To the nearest tenth of an hour, how long will the trip take?

Answer 1

1.6 hours

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can plug the values into a distance equation, as shown below:

`d=rt`

d = distance

r = rate

t = time

Now, lets plug in the values:

`107=68(t)`

Next, divide 107 by 68:

`(107)/(68) =t`

`t=1.57` (don't forget to round to the nearest tenth)

Your answer is 1.6 hours.
