PLZ HELP I DO NOT GET!

Answer 1

5 hours

Explanation:

(700-375)÷65

Answer 2

You must drive 5 hours

Explanation:

First we have to calculate how much we have to cover

v = velocity = 65 mi/h

t = time

d = distance

v = d/t

t = d/v

d = 700mi - 375mi

d = 325mi

t = d/v

t = (325mi) / (65mi/h)

t = 5h

The equation would then look like this:

t = (700mi - 375mi) / (65mi/h)
