An ambulance has been dispatched to an emergency scene that is 7 miles away. If the ambulance averages 35 miles per hour, how long will it take the ambulance to reach the scene?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t=12\ min[/tex] is the time taken by the ambulance to reach the destination.

Explanation:

Given;

  • distance between the ambulance and the destination site, [tex]d=7\ miles[/tex]
  • the average speed of the ambulance, [tex]v=35\ mile.hr^{-1}[/tex]

Now as we know that time in such cases can be calculated as:

[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{7}{35}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{1}{5} \ hr[/tex]

[tex]t=12\ min[/tex] is the time taken by the ambulance to reach the destination.
