Liz sets the cruise control at65miles per hour . She has to drive to Tucson which is 275 miles away. How long will it takes her to get there?


Sagot :

Answer:

The time to get there is 4.23 hours.

Explanation:

In our case, we are to solve for the time travel of the cruise to Tucson. Here, we will be using the formula:

v = s/t

where

v     is the velocity of the cruise, unit given is in miles per hour (mph)

s     is the distance traveled by the cruise, unit is in miles (mi)

t      is the time duration of the travel, unit given is in hours (hr)

For the given information

v = 65 mph

s = 275 miles

t = ?

Solving the problem

Let us use the formula above, derive the formula and substitute the given information, we have:

v = s/t

Use cross-multiply

t = s/v

t = [tex]\frac{275mi}{65mi/h}[/tex]

t = 4.23 hours

Therefore, the time to get to Tucson is 4.23 hours or 4 hours 13 minutes and 50 seconds.
