Problema Solution

How long (in minutes) will it take a 400-mile road trip take at 70 miles per hour? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

Answer provided by our tutors

let


d = 400 mi the distance


v = 70 mph the average speed


t = the time


since v = d/t follows t = d/v


t = 400/70


t = 40/7


t = 5 5/7 hr


t = 5 hr 5*60/7 min


t = 5 hr 43 min


t = 5*60 + 43


t = 343 min


the trip will take 343 minutes.
