Answer:
It will take the police car 3.5 hours to travel a distance of 175 miles traveling at a rate of 50 miles/hour.
Explanation:
If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 50 miles/hour and we wish to know how long it will take it to travel a distance of 175 miles, we will use this formula
d = r*t
Where d is the distance traveled in miles
r is the rate of speed in miles/ hour, and
t is the time in hours
d in this case is 175 miles and r is 50 miles/hour, plugging this in, we have
175 miles = (50 miles/hour) * t Divide both sides by 50 miles/hour
Our miles unit will cancel out, leaving us with
3.5 hours = t
