Question

You are traveling in a car and you want to know how long it will take you to reach your destination. You will travel 220 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour. Use the distance formula D=r•t , to determine how much time, t, in hours it will take you to get there

Answer 1

You will get there in 4 hours

Explanation:

Use the distance formula D=r•t , to determine how much time, t, in hours it will take you to get there

Where D = Distance

r = rate = Average Speed

t = time in hours

From the question

D = 220 miles

t = ??

r = 55 miles/hour

Hence:

220miles = 55miles/hour × t

t = 220/55

t = 4 hours

You will get there in 4 hours
