A car travels 110 miles in 2 hours. At the same rate of speed, how far will the car travel in h hours? If rain is falling at the rate of 2 inches per hour, how many inches of rain will fall in x minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Car will travel [tex]55h \ miles[/tex] in h hours.

Rain will fall [tex]\frac{x}{30} \ inches[/tex] in x minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Car =[tex]\frac{total \ distance}{total \ time} =\frac{110}{2} =55 \ miles/hour[/tex]

Distance covered by car in x hour =[tex]speed \ \times \ time=55 \times h=55h\ miles[/tex]

Rain fall in 1 hour =[tex]2 \ inches[/tex]

Rain fall in [tex]60 \ minutes=2 \ inches[/tex]

So rainfall in [tex]1 \ minutes=\frac{2}{60} =\frac{1}{30} \ inches[/tex]

Rainfall in [tex]x \ minutes=\frac{1}{30} \times x=\frac{x}{30} \ inches[/tex]
