Problema Solution

Alonzo drove

567

miles in

9

hours.

At the same rate, how long would it take him to drive

819

miles?

Answer provided by our tutors

since the average rate v = total distance/time we have


total distance = 567 mi


time = 9 hr


v = 567/9


v = 63 mph


d = 819 miles


t = the time that Alonzo needed to drive 819 miles


v = d/t


d/t = v


t = d/v


t = 819/63


t = 13 hr


It will take him 13 hours to drive 819 miles.
