Respuesta :
The total distance traveled from his house to the restaurant and then back to his house =[tex] 16+16 [/tex]= 32 miles.
He drove at the constant speed of 0.8 miles per minute.
Total Time taken = [tex] \frac{Distance travled}{Speed} [/tex]\
=[tex] =\frac{32}{0.8}
=\frac{320}{8}
=40 [/tex] minutes.
Distance between Luke's house and restaurant is 16 m.
Since he drives to the restaurant and back to home, so total distance travelled will be double of 16 m that is 32m.
Speed at which Luke drove is 0.8 miles/minute.
Speed, distance and time can be related by the formula :
[tex] speed = \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]
So in order to find time,
[tex] time = \frac{distance}{speed} [/tex]
[tex] time = \frac{32}{0.8} [/tex]
time = 40 minutes.
Answer: The number of minutes since Luke started driving from his house to his distance from the house is 40 minutes.
