Answer:

The time will depend on the number of people who move on each trip from the point of origin to the destination. If done at the maximum speed allowed using 100 vehicles of 50 seats each, the evacuation would be done in 63.68 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Population = 91,000 ppl

Speed limit = 60 mph

Distance = 21 miles.

1. <em>Assuming that people is evacuated at the max. speed allowed, it means that each trip will take</em>:

T = D/V

D= 21 miles

V = 60 mph:

So;

T = 21 miles / 60mph

T= 0,35 h

2. Asumming that we are going to use an amount of 100 vehicles  with 50-seats in each trip for evacuating people, it means that we could evacuate

500 people every 0,35 h ≈ 1,429 ppl/hour <em>(evacuation rate)</em>

To know how long it would take us to evacuate 91,000 people under these conditions, we would have to divide the total amount by the previously calculated evacuation rate

T= 91,000/ 1,429 = 63,68 hours
