Problema Solution
The distance between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Memphis, Tennessee, by road is 390 miles. How long will it take to drive from New Orleans to Memphis if the driver maintains a speed of 60 miles per hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 390 mi the distance
v = 60 mph the speed
t = the time
since v = d/t we have t = d/v
t = 390/60
t = 6.5 hr
it will take 6 and a half hours to drive from New Orleans to Memphis.
