Question

Susie ran a race. She ran 55 miles an hour, and the race took her tt hours to complete. How long was the race?

Answer 1

Formula for speed is given by;

`\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

As per the given statement:

Susie ran a race. She ran 55 miles an hour, and the race took her t hours to complete.

⇒Speed = 55 miles an hour

Time = t hour

Substitute the given values in the given formula we have;

`55 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{t}`

Multiply t both sides we get;

`\text{Distance} = 5t` miles.

Therefore, 5t miles long was the race.
