Answer:

3.75 hours

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the speed expressed as;

Speed = Distance covered/Time taken

If I ride in a car for 225 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour then the distance covered = 225 miles and the speed of the car = 60miles/hour

Substituting the given parameters into the formula above to get the time taken;

60 = 225/time

cross multiply

60*time = 225

Divide both sides by 60;

60*time/60= 225/60

Time = 3.75 hours

Hence the amount of hours taken during the trip is 3.75hours
