Question

Jesse is driving to a town that is 210 miles away with a speed of 60 miles per hour. If he makes no stops, how long will the trip take?

Answer 1

Answer: The trip should take 3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the time, divide the distance by the rate. In this case, 210/60 = 3.5.

Answer 2

Answer:

3.5 hours or specifically, 3 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the car can be driven 60 miles per hour. The goal is 210 miles. If you divide 210 miles by 60, the result is 3.5. The whole number 3 in 3.5 will represent the hours taken which means 3 hours. The 0.5 will also represent the minutes. 0.5 = 1/2, 1/2 of an hour = 30 minutes.
