Question

Tameron is driving `540` miles to college. If he drives at an average rate of `45` miles per hour, how many hours will it take to get `3/4` of the way there?

Answer 1

9 hours

Explanation:

`3/4ths` of 540 miles = 405 miles.

`v = "distance"/"time"` so a bit of algebra will tell you that

`"time" = "distance"/v`

So then `"time" = "distance"/v = (405 "miles")/(45 "miles"/"hr") = 9 "hrs"`

I hope this helps,
