Answer:
Susie reaches the store first being ahead by 0.06 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 miles going 45 miles/hour.
20 miles / (45 miles / hour) = 20 miles hours / 45 miles =
= 20 hours / 45 = 4/9 hours = 0.44 hours
25 miles going 50 miles/hour.
25 miles / (50 miles / hour) = 25 miles hours / 50 miles =
= 25 hours / 50 = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours
So Susie needs less time (= arrives first).
the difference is 0.5 - 0.44 = 0.50-0.44 = 0.06 hours
as additional practice :
0.06 hours is 60 × 0.06 minutes.
60 × 0.06 = 60 × 6 / 100 = 360 / 100 = 3.6 minutes.
