Question

Jack is driving from Bangor to Portland at a rate of 68 miles per hour. The distance is 107 miles. To the nearest tenth of an hour, how long will the trip take?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can plug the values into a distance equation, as shown below:

$d=rt$

d = distance

r = rate

t = time

Now, lets plug in the values:

$107=68(t)$

Next, divide 107 by 68:

$\frac{107}{68} =t$

$t=1.57$ (don't forget to round to the nearest tenth)

Your answer is 1.6 hours.
