Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. You are driving 55 miles per hour. You must drive 440 miles total. If you have already driven 275 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination? Use h to represent the number of hours it will take to reach your destination. Use the equation 55h + 275 = 440.
1. 30 hours****
2. 3 hours
3. 1 hours
4. 2 hours
d = 440 - 275 = 165 miles remaining.
d = r*h = 165.
55 * h - 165,
h = ----.
Could someone tell me if I'm right or wrong please? Thanks!
Your answer is wrong.
To find the time it will take to reach your destination, you can use the equation 55h + 275 = 440, where h represents the number of hours.
1. Start by subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation: 55h = 440 - 275.
Simplifying the right side, we have: 55h = 165.
2. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 55: h = 165 / 55.
Simplifying the right side, we get: h = 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is 3 hours.
