How much time should be allowed for a 360-mile car trip if the car will travel at an average speed of 45 miles per hour

Answer 1

The car would be able to travel for 8 hours in a 360-mile car trip if it's going 45 mph.

Explanation:

The formula for this problem is:

Distance = Rate x Time

We have the distance:

360 miles

We have the rate:

45 mph.

The time is what we're trying to find out.

So fill in the blanks:

(360 = 45 x ?)

Then set up the problem and solve.

360 / 45 = 8

There you go.
