Question

Sam traveled 7.5 kilometers from his house to reach the highway. On the highway, he travels at an average speed of 55 kilometers per hour. Which equation can be solved to find t, the time in hours Sam travels on the highway to reach a farm 22 kilometers away from his house?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2636 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of kilometers from Sam's house to highway = 7.5 km

Average speed traveled on highway = 55km/hr

Which equation can be solved to find t, the time in hours Sam travels on the highway to reach a farm 22 kilometers away from his house?

Time traveled (t) to reach a farm 22 kilometers from his house :

t = time in hours Sam travels on the high way:

Distance from highway to farm = (Distance of farm from Sam's house - distance from Sam's house to highway)

22km - 7.5km = 14.5km

Speed of travel on highway = 55kmph

Travel time = distance / speed

Travel time = 14.5km / 55km/hr

Travel time = 0.2636 hrs
