The driving distance between Manchester and London is 195 miles. Farid intends to travel from Manchester to London by coach. The coach will leave Manchester at 3.30pm.

Farid assumes that the coach will travel at an average speed of 50mph

A)Using his assumption, work out Faris's arrival time at London.

Answer:

7:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

At 50 mph, it will take 195/50 = 3.9 hours to reach London

3.9 hours = 3 .9 * 60 = 3 hours and 54 minutes(54 = 0.9 * 60 )

3:30 + 3:34 ==> 7:24

(one way to do this is to add up the hours and minutes separately so we get 6:84) Since 84 minutes = 1 hour and 24 minutes, just add 1:24 to 6 to get 7:24

Another way to do this is to see that if the distance was 200 miles, then it would take exactly 4 hours (200/50) to reach at 7:30pm But it is short by 5 miles. At the speed of 50mph, the time taken to travel 5 miles = 60/50 * 5 = 6 minutes so deduct 6 minutes from 7:30pm to get 7:24pm

If the train is slower average speed, then the arrival time is delayed beyond 7:24pm
