Driving distants

Question

scott drove 520 miles in 8 hours at the same rate how long will it take him to drive 325 miles

Answer 1

Hi Shaheme,

Step One: Organize 

520 miles=distance

8 hours=time

Rate=distance/time=520/8=65miles/hour

Step Two: Solve 

Rate=65miles/hour

time=?

distance=325 miles

Distance=rate*time

325=65*time

5=time

∴It would take him 5 hours

Sincerely,

Answer 2

Distance = rate times time

 

So 520= rate times 8

 

Rate= 520/8= 65 mph

 

325= 65 times time

 

time= 325/65 =  5 hours
