Question

Your family drives 35 miles per hour on a trip to Florida. The total distance of their trip is 560 miles. How hours did they drive?

Answer 1

16 hours

Explanation:

We know that distance equals the product of rate and time:

Distance = Rate * Time

D = RT

Thus, we can determine how many hours your family drove by dividing the total distance of their trip (560 mi) by their rate (35 mph)

D/R = T

560/35 = T

16 = T

Thus, your family drove 16 hours.
