Joe is the owner and CEO of Pinecrest Enterprises, a real estate development company in Boise, Idaho. The company has taken on a new development project outside of town, and Joe wants to drive out to survey the proposed development site. The site is 30 miles away from Joe’s office. Setting a good example, Joe drives the speed limit of 45 miles per hour to the development site and back.
Good for him!
Do you have a question about this situation?
I want to know the total of time that joe will spend driving to and from the development site?
To determine the total time it takes Joe to travel to and from the development site, we can use the formula: time = distance/speed.
The distance from Joe's office to the development site is 30 miles.
Joe drives at the speed limit of 45 miles per hour.
Using the formula, we can calculate the time it takes for Joe to drive to the development site:
Time to travel to the development site = distance/speed = 30 miles / 45 miles per hour.
Time to travel to the development site = 0.67 hours or approximately 40 minutes.
Now, to find out the time it takes for Joe to drive back from the development site, we can use the same formula:
Time to travel back from the development site = distance/speed = 30 miles / 45 miles per hour.
Time to travel back from the development site = 0.67 hours or approximately 40 minutes.
Therefore, the total time it takes Joe to drive to the development site and back is approximately 40 minutes each way, resulting in a total of 80 minutes or 1 hour and 20 minutes.
