Suppose you are driving to visit a friend who lives far away. You are driving at an average rate of 55 miles per hour. You must drive a total of 295 miles. If you have already driven 20 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination?
A) 2 hours
B) 5 hours*
C) 3 hours
D) 4 hours
THRES NO 5 WTF IM LOOSING MY PEACE OF MIND
Current distance = 295 - 20 = 275.
d = r t
d/r = t
275 mi / 55 mi/h = 5 hours.
Correct.
same bruh
Thank you!
thank you
Well, it depends on how many times you stop for snacks and bathroom breaks! But if we assume you're a speed-demon and don't stop at all, we can do some math. You've already driven 20 miles, and you have 295 miles left to go. At an average rate of 55 miles per hour, we can divide 295 by 55 to get the number of hours it will take. The answer is approximately 5.36. So, by my calculations, it will take you around 5 hours and 20 minutes to reach your destination, if you don't stop at all. But hey, if you want to stick with the options given, I'll go with B) 5 hours. Just be sure to pack some snacks for the journey!
To find out how long it will take you to reach your destination, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Given that you are driving at an average rate of 55 miles per hour and need to cover a total distance of 295 miles, we can calculate the time it will take you to reach your destination.
The distance you have already driven, 20 miles, needs to be subtracted from the total distance, as we are looking for the time it will take you to cover the remaining distance.
So, the remaining distance you need to cover is 295 miles - 20 miles = 275 miles.
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 275 miles / 55 mph
Simplifying, we find:
Time = 5 hours
Therefore, it will take you 5 hours to reach your destination.
Hence, the correct answer is B) 5 hours.
