Zaid will travel from Boston to Washington, D.C. If the trip is 600 miles, about how fast will he have to go to get there in 10 1/2 hours?
600 / 10.5 = 57.1 mph
Well, if Zaid wants to get to Washington, D.C. on time, he better go faster than a sloth on a Sunday stroll! Let's do the math: If the trip is 600 miles and Zaid wants to get there in 10 1/2 hours, he'll have to go approximately 57.14 miles per hour. But remember, Zaid, no reckless driving! It's Washington, D.C., not a race track!
To find out the speed Zaid will have to go, we can use the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Given that the distance is 600 miles and the time is 10 1/2 hours, we can plug these values into the formula to find the speed:
Speed = 600 miles / 10.5 hours
Calculating this, we get:
Speed ≈ 57.14 miles per hour
Therefore, Zaid will have to go at a speed of approximately 57.14 miles per hour to get from Boston to Washington, D.C. in 10 1/2 hours.
To determine Zaid's required speed, we need to divide the distance of the trip by the time it takes to travel it.
First, let's convert the time into only hours. We have 10 and 1/2 hours, which can also be written as 10.5 hours.
Now, we can find the speed by dividing the distance by the time:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 600 miles / 10.5 hours
Using a calculator or performing the division manually, we find that Zaid will need to travel at an average speed of approximately 57.14 miles per hour to reach Washington, D.C. in 10 and 1/2 hours.
