Question

I drove to visit my Mom over Spring Break. She lives exactly 352 miles away (according to GoogleMaps). If my average speed was 55 miles per hour, how long did it take me to get to her house?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.4 hrs(6hrs 24 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Speed is defined as displacement over time.

-Given speed=55mph and the displacement is 352 miles, the time can be calculated as:

$Speed=\frac{Displacement}{Time}\\\\\therefore Time=\frac{Displacement }{Speed}\\\\=\frac{352}{55}\\\\=6.4 hrs$

Hence, it took 6.4 hrs(6hrs 24 minutes) to get to her house.
