First you need to find the rate. This problem is based on the formula d = rt
d = distance
r = rate
t = time.
The question is asking how many miles will it travel in 8 hours so to find this out we need to find the rate when the car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. We use this information and plug it into the model d = rt
d = 240
r = don't know yet
t = 4 hr
d = rt
240 = 4r
240 / 4 = 4r / 4
60 = r
r = 60
So the car is going at a rate of 60 miles per hour. Now that we know this we can solve for how many miles the car will travel in 8 hours.
d = rt
d = r * t
d = 60 * 8
d = 480
So the car will travel 480 miles in 8 hours
Another way to think about this is that you know the car traveled 240 miles in 4 hours and the question is wanting to know how far the car will travel in 8 hours, which would be double the 4 hours so 240 + 240 = 480
Answer: 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that two mechanics, Martin and Gordon, are working on your car. Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, while Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours.
Since Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, that means in 1 hour, he will do 1/4 of the work.
Since Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours, that means in 1 hour, he'll do 1/2 of the job.
When they both work together, we will add their fraction of work done in one hour together. This will be:
= 1/4 + 1/2
= 3/4
This means that both of them will do 3/4 of the job in one hour. Then to get the time taken to get the whole job done, we divide 1 by 3/4. This will be:
= 1 ÷ 3/4
= 1 × 4/3
= 4/3 hours
= 1 hour 20 minutes.
