Answer:
0.1 hours to the nearest tenth (0.125 hours exact)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply need to do a conversion to find the length of time.
We are given the rate 40 miles per hour, and the distance of 5 miles. We simply need to know the amount of time.
5 miles * (1 hour per 40 miles) = 1 hour / 8
Note, the distance unit cancels out.
So, to travel 5 miles it will take 1/8 of an hour.
1/8 as a decimal is equal to 0.125. The answer rounded to the nearest tenth would be 0.1 hours, since the 2 rounds down.
Cheers.
