Question

my family left at 4am this morning on a trip to the mountains if the car average for 60 miles per hour for 600 miles what time would they arrive at their destination ​

Answer 1

They would arrive at their destination at 2pm.

Explanation:

We have that:

`v = (d)/(t)`

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.

We first have to find how long the trip takes.

60 miles per hour, so
`v = 60`

600 miles, so
`d = 600`

Then

`v = (d)/(t)`

`60 = (600)/(t)`

`60t = 600`

`t = (600)/(60)`

`t = 10`

The trip lasts 10 hours. Your family left at 4am. When they arrive.

10 hours after 4 am is 10 + 4 = 14 hours, which in the am/pm scale is 2 pm.

So they would arrive at their destination at 2pm.
