Jesse is driving to a town that is 210 miles away with a speed of 60 miles per hour. If he makes no stops, how long will the trip take?
210 / 60 = _______ hours
To find out how long the trip will take, we need to divide the distance by the speed at which Jesse is driving. In this case, Jesse is driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour and the distance to the town is 210 miles.
The formula to find the time taken is: Time = Distance / Speed
Plugging in the given values:
Time = 210 miles / 60 miles per hour
Now, to calculate this value, we can either do it manually by dividing 210 by 60, or we can use a calculator or the calculator app on our phone.
Dividing manually, we get:
Time = 3.5 hours
So, the trip will take 3.5 hours if Jesse makes no stops.
