Question

In an effort to reduce accidents, the highway authority decided to reduce the speed limit on a road from 65 mi/h to 50 mi/h. To travel 650 miles, how many more hours will it take a car averaging 50 mi/h than a car averaging 65 mi/h?

Answer 1

3 hours

I did math counts

Answer 2

The answer is 3 hours

Explanation:

The reason being, 65 mi/h can be divided by 650 to equal 10, so it would take 10 hours to get through those 650 miles with your car that drives 65 mi/h

Then we can do the same things with 50, that equals 13. So 13 - 10 = 3. It took the 50 mi/h car 3 more hours to get through 650 miles than the 65 mi/h car!

Hope this helped :)
