Answer 1

The answer is option c)7:34am

Answer 2

Answer:

I will arrive at 7:34 a.m. at the office

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between office and house s = 12 miles

Average speed is v = 30miles/hour

We know that speed = distance/time

Therefore the time to reach the office = distance/speed

$t=\frac{s}{v}$

$t=\frac{12}{30}$

t = 0.4 hour

t = 0.4 × 60 minites

t = 24 minutes

If the current time is 7:10 a.m I will reach the office after 24 minutes

Therefore I will reach the office at 7:34 a.m
