Question

How much time does it take for a car travelling at 65 miles/hour to travel 300 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.6 hours

Explanation:

to cover 65 miles it takes 1 hour

for 1 mile it is 1/65 hour

for 300 miles it will be 1/65 × 300 = 4.6 hours

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x represent the missing speed. First of all, we need to multiply 65 by x to get 300. Well, what do we get when we multiply 65 by 2? 130, right? Not quite close so let's go higher. How about 65 times 4? We get.....260! But wait, if we add 65 more, it will go over the limit.

In order to do this, we have to divided 65 by 2. The answer to this is 32.5, so, we have to add 260 plus 32.5.

=> 292.5.

Lastly, we can get 1/8 of 65. 1/8 of 65 is 8.

Now, all there's left to do is add! 292.5 plus 8 = 300.5

60 + 30 = 90

90 + 7.5 = 97.5

97.5 => 1:37.5 minutes.

Thus, it will take the car 1:37.5 minutes for the car to reach 300 miles.

I hope this helps you. Have a great day :)
