90 minutes

Further explanation

Given:

• Rene is going to the lake to visit some friends.
• The lake is 60 miles away.
• Rene is driving at 40 miles per hour the entire time.

Question:

How long will it take her to get to the lake?

The Process:

We face a basic problem that connects distance, speed, and time. To solve this, we will use the formula:

$\boxed{ \ Distance = Speed \times Time \ }$

Because we will find out how long to get to the lake, the formula is rewritten as follows:

$\boxed{ \ Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} \ }$

Let us calculate now.

$\boxed{ \ Time = \frac{60 \ miles}{40 \ miles \ per \ hour} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Time = \frac{3}{2} \ or \ 1.5 \ hour \ }$

Therefore the time needed is 1.5 hours which we convert into minutes. i.e., $\boxed{ \ 1.5 \ hours \times 60 \ \frac{minutes}{hour} \ }$

Thus she will take 90 minutes to get the lake.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C, 90 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rene is going to the lake to visit some friend.

Lake is 60 miles away.

Rene is driving at 40 miles = 1 hour

she will take time to get to the lake = $\frac{60}{40}$

                                                           = 1.5 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1.5 hour = 60 × 1.5 = 90 minutes

It will take Rene 90 minutes to get to the lake.
