Question

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 8 2/3 miles per hour. How long will it take the object to travel to 5 1/5 miles

Answer 1

Time = distance / speed
time = (5 1/5) / (8 2/3)
time = (26/5) / (26/3)
        = 26/5 * 3/26
        = 3/5 of an hr <===

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is speed multiplied by time.  ( when we have steady speed )

Distance=speed* time

We are looking for time.

Time=Distance /speed

Distance= 5 1/5 miles=5,20

Speed=8 2/3 miles=8,66

T=5.20/8.66666=0,60

1 hour is 60 minutes

T=0,60/60 minutes=36 minutes
