Question

Carolyn and her basketball team are traveling form Oak City to the beach for the championships. The distance to the beach is about 1,344 miles. The team plans to drive 50 miles per hour. About how many hours will it take for Carolyn and her team to get to the beach?

Answer 1

It will take 26.88hours to get to the beach

Explanation:

From the problem statement, we are asked to find the time required to reach the beach.

given data

distance s=1344 miles

speed v= 50 mph

time t=?

we know that the relationship between speed, distance and time is given as

velocity=distance/time

substituting our given data into the expression we have

50=1344/t

making t subject of the formula we have

t=1344/50

t= 26.88 hours

Therefore it will take 26.88hours to get to the beach
