About how many hours will it take to travel 410 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour? Use D=r•t

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to notice about this problem is that you have a mixture of Metric and English units.  The first thing that I would recommend is to convert 410 miles into Kilometers

1 mile = 1.61 km

410 miles = (410*1.61) = 660 km (rounded to the nearest km)

Now you need to know the time.  The formula for travel is d=rt.  You know the distance, and you know the rate, solve the formula for time.

t=d/r.

t=660km/120km/k

t=5.5 hours.  Plus add the 2 15 minutes breaks.  2*15=30 minutes.  60 minutes in an hour means that you add 30/60 hours to the trip, or another .5 hours.

Therefore the answer is 5.5+.5 hours.

The answer is: time=6 hours.
