Answer 1

360 miles divided by 60 miles per hours = 6 hours

it will take 6 hours

Answer 2

Answer:

$d=s\times t$

The number of hours it take the car to travel is 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car drives 60 miles per hour.

To find : Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours it takes the car to travel 360 miles ?

Solution :

The speed of the car is s=60 miles per hour.

The distance covered is d=360 miles.

Let the time taken to cover the distance is t=t hours

The relationship between the speed, time and distance is

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$

The equation form is

$d=s\times t$

$360=60\times t$

$t=\frac{360}{60}$

$t=6$

The number of hours it take the car to travel is 6 hours.
