Two questions:
1) Ryan's class drove for 350 miles in 6 hours and 20 minutes, what was their speed?
2) Starting point to destination is 500 miles; 9 inches on a map. If a driver stops 4 inches from starting point, how far are they from destination in miles?
Thanks in advance!
OwO Sincerely, Allyson
1) 350/(6 1/3) = ?
2) (1-4/9)500 = ?
OwO whats dis?
owo= kill me
Hello Allyson! I'd be happy to help you with your questions. Let's tackle them one by one:
1) To find the speed, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
In this case, Ryan's class drove for 350 miles in 6 hours and 20 minutes. However, we need to convert the 20 minutes to hours in order to have a consistent time unit.
To convert minutes to hours, we divide the number of minutes by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour). So, 20 minutes divided by 60 gives us 0.33 hours (rounded to two decimal places).
Adding the converted minutes to the original hours, we get a total time of 6.33 hours.
Now, we can simply divide the total distance (350 miles) by the total time (6.33 hours) to find the speed:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 350 miles / 6.33 hours
Speed ≈ 55.28 miles per hour
Therefore, Ryan's class had an average speed of approximately 55.28 miles per hour.
2) To determine the distance from the driver's stopping point to the destination, we need to calculate the scale of the map.
We know that 9 inches on the map represents 500 miles in real life. So, we can set up a proportion to find the distance from the driver's stopping point to the destination.
In a proportion, the ratio of corresponding sides should be equal. Let's set it up:
9 inches on map / 500 miles in real life = 4 inches on map / x miles in real life
We need to solve for x, which represents the distance from the driver's stopping point to the destination.
Cross-multiplying, we have:
9 inches on map * x miles = 500 miles in real life * 4 inches on map
Simplifying, we get:
9x = 2000
Dividing both sides by 9, we find:
x = 2000 / 9
x ≈ 222.22 miles
Therefore, the driver is approximately 222.22 miles away from the destination.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
