Question

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 1000 ft in 12 seconds. how long in hours will it take to travel 175 miles?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3.08 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you're interested in the time in hours.

  $175\text{ mi}\times\dfrac{12\text{ s}}{1000\text{ ft}}\times\dfrac{5280\text{ ft}}{1\text{ mi}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ h}}{3600\text{ s}}=\dfrac{175\times12\times5280}{1000\times3600}\text{ h}=\boxed{3.08\text{ h}}$

It will take 3.08 hours to travel 175 miles at that speed.
