Charmin drives 60 miles per hour it will take 3 hours to drive. How many minutes longer will it take to make the trip if he drives 50 miles per hour instead

Question

Since he drove 60 miles per hour in 3 hours how many more minutes does it take him to drive 50 miles per hour.

Answer 1

Distance = Speed × Time

 

If Charmin drives 60 mph for 3 hours, how far will he go?

 

Distance= 60×3=180

 

If he drove 180 miles, how long would that have taken if he drove 50 mph?

 

180=50×Time

 

Time=180/50=18/5=3.6 hours

 

Hope that makes sense!
