At a speed of 48 miles per hour, how mnay minutes will it take to drive 40 miles?
Is it 32 minutes?
No, it is 50 minutes.
40/48 * 60 = 50.
Another way to figure this problem is with a proportion.
48/60 = 40/x
48x = 2400
x = 50
To determine the time it will take to drive 40 miles at a speed of 48 miles per hour, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Let's plug in the values:
Time = 40 miles / 48 miles per hour
Simplifying the equation:
Time = 5/6 hours
To convert hours to minutes, we know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.
Thus:
Time = 5/6 * 60 minutes
Simplifying further:
Time = 50 minutes
Therefore, it will take approximately 50 minutes to drive 40 miles at a speed of 48 miles per hour, not 32 minutes.
To find out how many minutes it will take to drive 40 miles at a speed of 48 miles per hour, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed.
In this case, the distance is 40 miles and the speed is 48 miles per hour.
So, substituting the values into the formula:
Time = 40 miles / 48 miles per hour.
Dividing 40 by 48 gives a quotient of 0.8333.
To convert this decimal to minutes, we multiply by 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour.
0.8333 x 60 = 49.998 minutes, which rounds to approximately 50 minutes.
Therefore, it will take approximately 50 minutes to drive 40 miles at a speed of 48 miles per hour.
Hence, the answer is not 32 minutes, but rather approximately 50 minutes.
