Question

The distance a vehicle travels can be found by using the formula d = rt, where d is the total distance traveled, r is the rate of speed, and t is the amount of time spent traveling. Grace drives her truck a distance of 80 miles at a steady speed of 50 miles per hour. To the nearest hour, how many hours does she spend driving?

Answer 1

Answer:

She spends 2 hours driving.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given is:

$d = rt$

In which d is the distance traveled, r is the rate of speed, and t is the amount of time spent traveling.

Grace drives her truck a distance of 80 miles at a steady speed of 50 miles per hour.

This means that $d = 80, r = 50$

To the nearest hour, how many hours does she spend driving?

We have to find t. So

$d = rt$

$50t = 80$

$t = \frac{80}{50}$

$t = 1.6$

Rounding to the nearest hour

She spends 2 hours driving.
