Question

The distance to your cousin's house is 666 miles, and the distance to Chicago is 37 miles. If it took 18 hours to drive to your cousin's house. howlong would you estimate the drive to Chicago to take?

Answer 1

666/18=37miles/hour

it would take 1 hour to drive 37 miles

Answer 2

We know that it took 18 hours to drive 666 miles. If we divide the distance by the hours (666 miles)/(18 hours)

We find that 666/18= 37 miles per hour . which means we travel 37 miles each hour.

So, we can estimate that driving 37 miles it will take 1 hour (the distance to Chicago).
