Question

Some students are going to dallas on a school trip. the distance from their school to dallas is 200 miles. the driver of the van carrying the students is told to allow 1 hour more than the time it would take to travel the 200 miles at 60 mph. about how much time should the driver allow for this trip to dallas?

Answer 1

The actual time to travel would be 200 miles / 60 miles/hour = 3.33333 hours or 3 hours and 20 minutes. Since the van driver has been directed to allow an extra hour, the amount of time allowed should be 4 hours and 20 minutes for the total duration of the trip to Dallas.
