Question

The driving distance between Manchester and London is 195 miles. Farris intends to travel from Manchester to London by coach. The coach will leave Manchester at 3.30pm.
Fairs assumes that the coach will travel at an average speed of 50 mph.

a) Using his assumption, work out Faris' arrival time in London.

Answer 1

Answer:

Faris' arrival time = 3:30 pm + 3 h 54 mnt = 7:24 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving distance between Manchester to London = 195 miles

Coach left Manchester = 3.30 pm

Average speed of coach = 50 mph

Total time taken by the coach to reach the Manchester to London = 195÷50 = 3.9 h

0.9 h = 0.9×60 mnt = 54 mnt

Now,

        3.9 h = 3 h 54 mnt

Hence Faris' arrival time in London = 3.30 pm + 3 h 54 mnt = 7.24 pm

Answer 2

That would be 3 hours and 54 minutes, or 3.9 hours. All you’d have to do is divide 195 by 50, which is the miles traveled divided by the unit rate (mph)
