how much time does it take for a horse runningat a speed of 55 miles per hour to travel a distance of 1,900

Question

please help!!

Answer 1

Distance = rate * time

D = 1900

r = 55 mi/hr

 

That gives us:

1900 = ^{55 mi}/_hr t

what we need to do is isolate t, so we multiply both sides by hr/55mi:

^{1900 * hr} / _55 mi = t

 

That's as far as I can help you. You don't mention if the 1900 is feet, miles, meters, or what-have-you. if it's miles, it's straight division from here. If it's a different unit of measurement, then you're going to want to add in a conversion.
