barrys family drove 843 mi to see his grandparents. on the first day they drove 483mi. on the second day, how long did it take to reach barrys grandparents house if they averaged 60 mi/h?
843 / 60 = 14.05 hours
this isn't correct, it means the second day so:
483+x=843
-483 -483
x=360
360/60=6.
6 hours is the answer.
To find out how long it took Barry's family to reach his grandparents' house on the second day, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Since we know the distance they traveled on the second day is 843 miles minus the distance they traveled on the first day (483 miles), we can calculate the distance traveled on the second day as:
Distance on the second day = 843 miles - 483 miles = 360 miles
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Time = 360 miles / 60 miles/hour
Dividing 360 by 60, we get:
Time = 6 hours
So, it took Barry's family 6 hours to reach his grandparents' house on the second day if they averaged 60 miles/hour.
