Question

A car travels at an average speed of 48 miles per hour. How long it take to travel 156 miles

Answer 1

3.25 h = 3 h 15 m

Explanation:

156 mi * 1h/48 mi = 3.25 h = 3 h 15 m

Answer 2

Answer: 195 min or 3 hr and 15 min

Explanation:

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem.

`(48mi)/(60 min) =(156 mi)/(x)`

`48x=156*60`

`48x=9360`

`x=195 min`

We can also write this in terms of hours and minutes.

`(60 min)/(1 hr) =(195 min)/(x)`

`60x=195`

`x=3.25`

3 hr and 15 min
