Question

Mr. Tram was planning his trip from Dallas, TX to Detroit, MI. He knows that the total distance he needs to cover is 1620 km. He usually drives at a speed of 60 km per hour. How many hours will he have to drive?

Answer 1

Mr Tram will have to drive fro 27 hours.

Explanation:

Mr. Tram drives to Detroit, MI from Dallas, TX.

Total distance from Detroit to Dallas = 1620 km

Speed with which he drives = 60 km per hour

Then by the formula of speed,

Speed =
`\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

Time =
`\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}`

By substituting the values in the given formula,

Time =
`(1620)/(60)`

= 27 hours

Therefore, Mr. Tram will have to drive for 27 hours to reach Detroit from Dallas.
