How long will it take (in hours) to go 17 miles if you are travelling at 8 m/s.

Answer 1

Seems to me that the easiest conversion to get to the answer being asked is to convert 8m/s into miles/hour

multiply/divide to get 17.895 miles/hour

To determine time, distance/speed = time [miles/(miles/hr) = hours] so 17/17.895 is the number of hours (don't forget to round to one sig fig)

Answer 2

A) First concert MILES to METERS 17mi = 27358.848 Meters (m) x 1 SECONDS (I.E. DIVIDE BY 8).

8 METER

The meters units CANCEL.and your answer will be in SECONDS. How many seconds in an hour? 60x60 = 3600 seconds per hour. Take your answer in A) and DIVIDE by 3600 seconds in an hour. Seconds units cancel....... Hope this helps :-)
