Alicia's family decides to visit her grandmother who lives 163miles away. If they drive at an average speed of 55miles per hour, about how long will it take them to arrive at her grandmothers house
163/55 = _______ hours
3 hours
Alicia lives in Nashville , Tennessee . Last year her family drove to Atlanta , Georgia , each month to visit her grandmother . Find the total distance they drove to visit her grandmother for the year .
To find out how long it will take Alicia's family to arrive at her grandmother's house, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance is 163 miles and the speed is 55 miles per hour.
So, to find the time, we divide the distance by the speed:
Time = 163 miles / 55 miles per hour
To simplify this, we divide 163 by 55:
Time = 2.964 hours
Now, we need to convert the decimal part of the time into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply the decimal part by 60:
0.964 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 57.84 minutes
So, it will take Alicia's family approximately 2 hours and 57.84 minutes to arrive at her grandmother's house.
