Problema Solution
How long will it take Terrence to run 50 miles at a rate of 6 miles every half hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 50 mi the distance
v = 6/0.5 = 12 mph the rate
t = the time
Since v = d/t we have t = d/v
t = 50/12
t = 4 hr (2/12)*60 min
t = 4 hr 10 min
Terrance will run 50 miles in 4 hours and 10 minutes.
