Question

How fast must you drive to cover 700 miles in 13 hours? Round to the nearest mile per hour

Answer 1

54 miles per hour

Explanation:

We want the answer in miles per hour. This means we want to know how many miles we would need to drive in 1 hour; to change 13 hours to 1 hour, divide by 13:

700/13 = 53.84615385 ≈ 54 mph

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is 54 mph.

To find our answer we must divide the total distance by the expected amount of time. Therefore, in this situation, we must divide 700 by 13. This gives us:


`(700 \: miles)/(13 \: hours) = 53.8 \: mph`

Hence, the correct answer is: about 54 mph
