Question

Michelle leaves her house at 5:20 Am To Get To Work, Which is 20 miles away. If she drives 40 miles an hour, what time will she arrive at work

Answer 1

It will take michelle 20 minutes to get to work

Answer 2

Answer:

5:50 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the time it takes to drive.

speed = distance/time

time * speed = distance

time = distance/speed

time = ? (unknown)

distance = 20 miles

speed = 40 mph

time = distance/speed = (20 miles)/(40 mph) = 0.5 hour

0.5 hour * 60 min/hour = 30 minutes

It takes 30 minutes to drive. Now we add 30 minutes to 5:20 AM to find the arrival time.

5:20 AM + 0:30 = 5:50 AM
