A- 17

B- 19

C-21

D-15

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

give data

time= 8hours

distance=385mile

speed=?

Step two:

let us solve for the speed

Speed= distance/time

Speed=385/8

speed=48.125miles per hour

Step three:

let's find the time taken to cover 1000mile at the speed of 48.125 mi per hour

speed=distance/time

time=distance/speed

time=1000/48.125

time=20.779hours

approximately 21 hours
