Suppose you are driving to a friends house in another state, you are driving 65 miles per hour. you have to drive 520 miles in total. if you have already driven 195 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination?
A. 2 hours
B. 5 hours***
C. 15 hours
D. 22 hours
Good job.
I am pretty sure it is B because I subtracted 195 from 520 and got 325 the I divided that by 65 and got 5
Thank you Shroomy!!!!!! I; not very good at math so I a asking for a check, and you responded
T = (520-195)/65 = 5 hrs.
To find out how long it will take to reach your destination, you need to divide the remaining distance by your speed.
First, subtract the distance you have already driven from the total distance: 520 miles - 195 miles = 325 miles.
Next, divide the remaining distance by your speed: 325 miles / 65 miles per hour = 5 hours.
So, it will take you 5 hours to reach your destination.
The correct answer is B. 5 hours.
