Answer:
The time it will take to get to the bowling alley while driving at 65 mph on the freeway is approximately 20.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The time it takes through the streets to drive to the nearest bowling alley = 45 minutes
The speed of driving through the streets = 30 miles per hour (mph)
The speed of driving through the freeway to the bowling alley = 65 mph
From the speed of driving through the streets and the time taken we have;
The formula for speed, S, is S = Distance/Time
Therefore, 30 mph = Distance/45 minutes
Where, 1 hour = 60 minutes, 45 minutes = 1/60×45 hour = 3/4 hour
30 mph = Distance/45 minutes = Distance/(3/4 hour)
30 mph = Distance/(3/4 hour)
Distance = 30 mph × 3/4 hour = 22.5 miles
Given that the distance through the freeway and through the streets are the same, we have from speed = Distance/Time;
Time = Distance/Speed
The speed through the freeway = 65 mph while the distance remain 22.5 miles
Therefore;
Time = 22.5 miles/(65 mph) ≈ 0.346 hour ≈ 20.8 minutes
The time it will take to get to the bowling alley while driving at 65 mph on the freeway is approximately 20.8 minutes.
