Problema Solution

carlson city and mason city are 15 miles apart. if you leave carlson city and drive at 45 miles per hour, how long does it take you to reach mason city?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


d = 15 miles the distance that we have to pass

v = 45 miles per hour is the speed of the travel

t = the time of the travel


since the speed = distance/time => time = distance/speed


t = d/v


t = 15/45


t = 1/3 hr = (1/3)60 min = 20 min


t = 20 min


it takes 20 minutes to reach mason city.
