Answer 1

Answer:

  3.  about 7.48 hours

  4.  about 1.8892 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these questions make use of the relation ...

  time = distance / speed

3. time = (965 mi)/(129 mi/h) ≈ 7.48062 h ≈ 7.48 h

__

4. time = (612.1 mi)/(324 mi/h) ≈ 1.889198 h ≈ 1.8892 h

(We have rounded the time to sufficient precision so that the distance at the given speed rounds to the number given.)
