Question

A car travels 75 mi/hr. How many hours will it take to travel 837 km? (Pick the answer closest to the correct answer,

Answer 1

Answer:

6.9 hours

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we'll convert 837 km to miles (another option would be to convert 75 mi/hr to km/hr). To make said conversion we'll use the given conversion factor:

• 837 km * $\frac{1mi}{1.61km}$ = 519.88 mi

Finally we calculate the time required to travel said distance at a constant speed of 75 mi/hr:

• 519.88 mi ÷ 75 mi/hr = 6.9 hr
