Question

Billy needs to get to Pigeon Forge, that is 58.25 miles away from where he is. He is driving at 62.5 mi/hr. How long will it take him to get there?

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Distance of Pigeon Forge = 58.25miles

Speed = 62.5mile/hr

Unknown:

Time it will take Billy to get to Pigeon Forge = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity and it is the rate of change of distance with time.

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

Now let us input the parameters and find the time;

62.5 =
`(58.25)/(t)`

58.25 = 62.5t

t =
`(58.25)/(62.5)` = 0.93hrs

Time taken for him to get there is 0.93hrs
