We can easily solve this question by the formula of speed and distance.
Before starting let us known what information are we given,
Speed, s = 50 miles per hour
Distance, d = 420 miles
Time Take, t = ?
Since the unit of distance and speed are same, we do not require any unit conversions.
Now we know that speed is distance per unit time.
Hence,
Speed = Distance / Time
s = d / t
Substituting the values we are given,
50 = 420 / t
t = 420 / 50
t = 42 / 5
t = 8.4 hours
Hence,
The required time = t = 8.4 hours or 8 hours and 24 minutes
