Question

The distance a truck travels vary directly with the number of hours driven. A truck travels 268 miles in 4 hours. If the truck continues to travel at this same rate, how long will it take the truck to drive 938 miles? a 14 hours b12 hours 10 hours d 8 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

Time - 14 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T)

If D = 268 miles in 4 hours

268 = S x 4

S = 67 miles per hours

Now D = 938 miles

938 = 67 x T

T = 14 hours

Therefore; Time taken is 14 hours

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be done using unitary method, by finding the distance travelled in 1 hour

Distance travelled in 1 hour=Distance travelled/time taken

=268/4

=67 miles

Therefore, distance travelled in 1 hour= 67 miles

Now,

time taken to travel 67 miles = 1 hour

time taken to travel 938 miles = 938/67

time taken to travel 938 miles = 14 hours
