Gina has a meeting in 45 min. She is
driving at a rate of 30 mi/h. If she is
24 mi away, will she arrive on time? If
not, how early or late will she be?
Time it takes her to drive = distance/speed
= 24 miles / 30 miles/h
= 4/5 hours
Convert to minutes to compare to the desired time of 45 min.
To determine if Gina will arrive on time, we need to calculate the time it will take her to reach the destination and compare it to the meeting time. We can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Rate
According to the information given, the distance to Gina's destination is 24 miles and her rate of driving is 30 miles per hour. Let's calculate the time it will take for her to reach the destination:
Time = 24 miles / 30 mi/h
Time = 0.8 hours
Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, we can convert the time into minutes:
Time = 0.8 hours * 60 min/hour
Time = 48 minutes
Based on the calculation, it will take Gina 48 minutes to reach her destination. If her meeting starts in 45 minutes, she will be late by 3 minutes.
