Suppose you’re driving to visit a friend in another state you’re driving 55 mph must drive 440 miles total. If you have already driven to 75 miles how long will it take you to reach your destination use H to represent the number of hours will take to reach your destination. Use the equation 55/8+275 = 440.
I'm sorry, but the equation provided is incorrect and will not give the correct solution to the problem.
To solve this problem, we can use the formula:
Distance = Rate x Time
We know the distance we need to travel (440 miles) and the rate we are traveling (55 mph). We need to find the time it will take us to travel the remaining distance (440 - 75 = 365 miles).
So:
365 = 55T
Solving for T:
T = 365/55 = 6.63 hours
Rounding to the nearest quarter hour, it will take us H = 6.75 hours to reach our destination.
