Question

If you are 16 miles from Charleston, how long will it take to get there if your average velocity is 42

miles per hour?

Answer 1

22.9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Speed x Time

We want the time to go 16 miles at 42 miles/hour (mph).

16 miles = (42 mph)*T

T = 16 miles/(42 miles/hr)

Time = 0.381 hours

(60 minutes/hour)*(.381 hours)= 22.9 minutes
