Question

Find how long it takes a person to drive 94 miles on a highway if she merged into a highway at 1pm and drives nonstop with her cruise control set on 40mph

Answer 1

2.35 hrs

If she merged the highway at 1 pm, then she'll leave the highway by 3:21 pm

Explanation:

distance traveled = 94 miles

cruise speed = 40 mph

time taken = ?

time taken = distance/speed = 94/40 = 2.35 hours

2.35 hrs = 2 hrs + (0.35 x 60) = 2 hrs + 21 min

If she merged the highway at 1 pm, then she'll leave the highway by 3:21 pm
