Answer:
a. 12:10 pm
b. 40 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you meant to type 1 ¹/₄ hours later.
a. First convert that to a improper fraction and then a decimal:
= 5/4
= 1.25 hours
1.25 hours in minutes is:
= 1.25 * 60
= 75 minutes
= 1 hour 15 minutes
The motorist left at 10:55.
= 1055 + 1 hour
= 11:55
Add 15 minutes:
= 12:10 pm
b. Speed = Distance / Time
= 50 / 1.25 hours
= 40 miles per hour
