Traveling at 55 mph, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 310 miles from Boston to Syracuse?

Respuesta :

(310 mi)/(55 mph)*(60 min / 1 hr) = 338.181818 . . . .

rounds to 338 minutes

we know that

[tex] speed=\frac{distance}{time} [/tex]

Solve for the time

[tex] time=\frac{distance}{speed} [/tex]

in this problem

[tex] speed=55\frac{miles}{hour} \\ \\ distance=310 miles [/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex] time=\frac{310}{55} \\ \\ time=5.64\ hours [/tex]

convert to minutes

[tex] 5.64*60=338.4\ minutes =338\ minutes [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 338\ minutes [/tex]
