Answer:

The time taken to drive on this high way is 6.48 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

average velocity, v = 24 m/s

distance of travel, d = 560 km = 560,000 m

The distance traveled is given by;


d = ((v+u)/(2) )t\\\\d =( 24 \ m/s)t\\\\t = (d)/(24) \\\\t = (560,000)/(24)\\\\t = 2333.33 \ s = 6.48 \ hrs

Therefore, the time taken to drive on this high way is 6.48 hours
