if a car travel 250 miles in 5 hours at the same speed how long will it take to travel 570

Question

need help solving

Answer 1

First find the speed it takes to travel 250 miles in 5 hours.

 

 

v = d / t

 

where:

v = speed

d = distance

t = time

 

v = 250 miles / 5 hours

v = 50 miles / hour

 

 

Use this value of v to find how long it takes to travel 570 miles.

 

t = d / v

 

t = 570 miles / (50 miles / hour)

 

t = 11.40 hours
