I take a trip in my car. I want to go 960 miles in one day. The time t, in hours, that it takes to travel 960 miles is given. I will be going 70 or 75 miles an hour so the speed is r. How long will it take me to get to where I am going?
D = RT (Distance = Rate x Time)
T = D/R
T = 960/70
T = ?
T = 960/75
T = ?
To find the time it will take for you to reach your destination, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance you want to travel is 960 miles, and your speed will be either 70 or 75 miles per hour.
Let's plug in the values and calculate the time for both speeds:
For a speed of 70 miles per hour:
Time = 960 miles / 70 miles per hour
Time ≈ 13.71 hours
For a speed of 75 miles per hour:
Time = 960 miles / 75 miles per hour
Time ≈ 12.8 hours
Therefore, if you travel at a speed of 70 miles per hour, it will take you approximately 13.71 hours to reach your destination. If you travel at a speed of 75 miles per hour, it will take you approximately 12.8 hours.
