Question

A car travels across Texas m miles at the rate of t miles per hour. How many hours does the trip take??

Answer 1

Answer: The trip takes
`(m)/(t)hours`

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity
`V` is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled
`d`) with time
`T`:

`V=(d)/(T)`

In this case, the car travels a distance
`d=m miles` at a velocity
`V=t (miles)/(hour)` and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating
`T`:

`T=(d)/(V)=(m miles)/(t (miles)/(hour))`

Finally:

`T=(m)/(t)hours`
