Problema Solution
Town b and Town B are 68 miles apart. Maura left town a from town be at 10:30 a.m. if you travel at the speed of 40 miles per hour at what time did she reach Town B
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
d = 68 mi the distance traveled
v = 40 mph the average speed
t = the time of the travel
Since v = d/t we have t = d/v
Plug the values for 'd' and 'v' to find 't':
t = 68/40
t = 1.7 h
t = 1 h 0.7*60 min
t = 1 h 42 min
1 h and 42 min after 10:30 am is 12:12 pm
Maura reached Town B at 12:12 pm.
