Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.

A car travels across Texas m miles at the rate of t miles per hour. How many hours does the trip take??

Marianna [84]

Answer: The trip takes $\frac{m}{t}hours$

Explanation:

Velocity $V$ is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled $d$ ) with time $T$ :

$V=\frac{d}{T}$

In this case, the car travels a distance $d=m miles$ at a velocity $V=t \frac{miles}{hour}$ and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating $T$ :

$T=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{m miles}{t \frac{miles}{hour}}$

Finally:

$T=\frac{m}{t}hours$
