A cargo truck is traveling 70 miles per hour and plans to travel 840 miles, plus or minus 105 miles, depending on fuel levels. Find the minimum and maximum number of hours the truck will travel at that speed.

Respuesta :

Based on the speed of the cargo truck and the distance to be travelled, the minimum number of hours is 10.5 hours and the maximum number of hours is 12.2 hours.

How many hours will the truck travel?

The minimum number of miles the truck will travel is:

= 840 - 105

= 735 miles

The number of hours it will travel here are:
= 735 / 70

= 10.5 hours

The maximum number of miles the truck will travel is:

= 840 + 105

= 855 miles

The number of hours travelled will be:

= 855 / 70

= 12.2 hours

The minimum hours to be travelled are 10.5 hours and the maximum is 12.2 hours.
