Answer 2

25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is a measure of the distance traveled by a body relative to the time taken to complete a trip or a journey. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as;

speed = distance/time

Hence, time = distance/speed

The distance covering Dallas, Texas, to Salt Lake City, Utah is about 1500 miles and the speed limit is 60 mph, hence;

time = 1500/60

= 25 hours

Therefore, the least amount of time that would be needed to cover the journey is 25 hours.
