Billy needs to get to Pigeon Forge, that is 58.25 miles away from where he is. He is driving at 62.5 mi/hr. How long will it take him to get there?

Respuesta :

Given parameters:

Distance of Pigeon Forge = 58.25miles

Speed  = 62.5mile/hr

Unknown:

Time it will take Billy to get to Pigeon Forge = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity and it is the rate of change of distance with time.

       Speed  = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

     Now let us input the parameters and find the time;

               62.5  = [tex]\frac{58.25}{t}[/tex]

              58.25  = 62.5t

                   t = [tex]\frac{58.25}{62.5}[/tex]   = 0.93hrs

Time taken for him to get there is 0.93hrs
