Simpson drives his car with an average velocity of 48.0 km/h to the east. How long will it take him to drive 144 km on a straight highway?
144/48 = ?
To find the time it will take for Simpson to drive 144 km, we need to use the equation:
Time = Distance / Velocity
In this case, the distance is 144 km and the velocity is 48.0 km/h. Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
Time = 144 km / 48.0 km/h
Now, to calculate this we simply divide 144 by 48.
Time = 3 hours
Therefore, it will take Simpson 3 hours to drive 144 km on a straight highway.
