If the lake is 60 miles away, and Rene is driving at 40 miles per hour, how many minutes will it take to get to the lake

Answer 1

What you will need to do here is to find the time it takes, in minutes, for her to get to the lake.

We use the equation distance = rate * time

So: 60 = 40t

t = 60/40 = 1.5

Then convert to minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour. so our conversion factor is 1.5 x 60 mins./1 hour =

So t = 90 minutes.

Answer 2

d = r * t

60 mi = 40 mph * t

1.5 h = t
