Problema Solution
A family goes on a trip totaling 1885 miles. If after 4 hours they have traveled 260 miles, how many hours more will it take to reach the destination?
Answer provided by our tutors
the average speed of the family is:
v = 260/4
v = 65 mph
if the total distance is d = 1885 mi then for the time t we have:
v = d/t
t = d/v
t = 1885/65
t = 29 hr
it will take 29 hours to reach the destination.
