Question

5. Adam drives his car with an average velocity of 85 km/h eastward. How long will it take him to drive

560 km on a perfectly straight highway? Show work

Answer 1

x = 6.59 hrs = about 6 hours, 35 minutes

Explanation:

Adam drives at 85 km / h. Let's set up equivalent fractions to see how long if he drives 560 km.

`(85 km)/(1 hr) = (560 km)/(x hr)`

Cross-multiply:

85x = 560

Solve for x:

560/85 = x

x = 6.59 hrs = about 6 hours, 35 minutes
