Question

Sarah wants to find out how much time it would take to drive from her home to New York. At an average, she would drive at 55 miles per hour.
If the distance to be covered is 1150 km and a mile equals 1.61 km, how much time will the trip take (to the nearest hour)?

Answer 1

Sara would take approximately 13 hours to drive from her home to New York.

Explanation:

Distance to be covered  by Sara from her home to New York = 1150 km

one mile = 1.61 km

Distance in miles = 1150/1.61

= 714.286 miles

Average speed in which Sara would drive = 55 miles/hour

Time taken for traveling from home to New York = Distance/Speed

= 7114.286/55

=12.98 = 13 hours

Hence Sara would take approximately 13 hours to travel to New York from her home.
