Question

I need help plz you leave you house at 1 p.m to go to a wedding. The ceremony starts at 5 p.m. and is 350 miles away. You drive 65 miles per hour. will you make it to thr weddingon time ?If so, how much te do you have to spare? if not. how late will you be

Answer 1

You leave at 1 P.M., the wedding ceremony starts at 5 P.M.

This gives you a 4 hour gap, the Wedding is 350 miles away, and you're traveling at 65 miles an hour.

Simply you can use two methods, (65 * 4) to verify if you'd make it or not or (350/65) to ensure how many hours it would take in total.

65 * 4 = 260 | Since this is not 350, we can verify that you'd be late.
350/65 = 5.4 (estimated) | Meaning it'd take about 5.4 hours.

To know how long that is we'd have to convert over.

5.4 = 5 2/5ths, 60 minutes are in an hour. Divide 60 by 5 to get 12, meaning:
1/5ths = 12/60ths, with that said multiply that by 2 to get your answer.
2/5ths = 24/60ths or 24 minutes.

This means you'd take 5 hours and 24 minutes to get there.

Originally we stated that the process would take 4 hours. Subtract:

(5 hours and 24 minutes) - (4 hours) = (1 hour and 24 minutes)

Concluding that you'd be late by an hour and 24 minutes.

I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
