Question

Ahmad went for a drive in his new car. He drove at a speed of 63 miles per hour for 157.7 miles. For how many hours did he drive?

Answer 1

Answer: 2 (and a half)

Explanation:

First, lets take this literally. Every hour, he drove 63 miles. How many times can you fit 63 into 157.7? 2. That means that he drove for 2 whole hours, and a bit of extra minutes with the 31.7 miles left over. That's roughly 2 an a half hours.

Answer 2

Answer: Ahmad drove for 2.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = 157.7 miles / 63 miles per hour

Dividing 157.7 miles by 63 miles per hour gives us:

Time = 2.5 hours
