Question

On a stage coach how long does it take to get from Richmond to Boston in 1800

Answer 1

Answer: 111 hours or 4.625 days (not considering any time used to rest)


The equation to find time is:

Time= Distance/speed

A stagecoach travels at 5mph and there’s 555miles between Richmond and Boston

555miles is your distance and 5mph is your speed

Plug that in and you get:
555/5= 111

To get the amount of days that is, consider that there are 24 hours in a day then divide 111 by 24 to get:
111/24=4.625
