Tameron is driving 540 miles to college. If he drives at an average rate of 45 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to get 3/4 of the way there?
Distance Tameron has to travel to reach college = 540 miles Average speed at which Tameron drives = 45 miles per hour It is required to find the number of hours it will take Tameron to drive upto 3/4th of the total distance to college. For this purpose we have to first find the 3/4 of the total distance. Then 3/4 of the total distance to college = (3/4) * 540 = 3 * 135 = 405 miles. Then The time taken by Tameron to drive 405 miles = Distance traveled/Speed = 405/45 = 9 hours. So it will take Tameron 9 hours to drive 3/4 of the total distance to college.
