Question

Yolanda drove 605 miles in 11 hours.

At the same rate, how long would it take her to drive 495 miles?

Answer 1

First multiply 495•11

Divide

5445/605

So it took 9 hours


9

Answer 2

So it would take Yolanda 9 hours to drive 495 miles at the same rate.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the formula: distance = rate x time.

We know that Yolanda's rate of driving is 605 miles in 11 hours, so we can find her average speed by dividing the distance by the time:

rate = distance / time

rate = 605 miles / 11 hours = 55 miles per hour

Now that we know Yolanda's average speed, we can use it to find the time it would take her to drive 495 miles at that rate:

time = distance / rate

time = 495 miles / 55 miles per hour = 9 hours
