The amount of time saved on the 86.0 mile trip from Tulsa entrance to Oklahoma City is 0.42 hours
<h3>What is time?</h3>
Time is the measurement of a past, present, or future event. The S.I unit of time is seconds (s)
To get the time that was saved on the 8.6-mile trip, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- Ts = (d/v₁)-(d/v₂)................. Equation 1.
Where:
- Ts = Time saved on the trip
- d = distance covered during the trip
- v₁ = Initial legal speed limit
- v₂ = final/current legal speed limit.
From the question,
Given:
- d = 86.0 mile
- v₁ = 55.0 mi/h
- v₂ = 75.0 mi/h
Substitute these values into equation 1
- Ts = (86/55)-(86/75)
- Ts = 1.564-1.147
- Ts = 0.42 h.
Hence, The amount of time saved on the 86.0 mile trip from Tulsa entrance to Oklahoma City is 0.42 hours.
