Question 1179553: A group of students decides to drive to college instead of flying. They leave from Miami, FL
and head north toward college in Boston, MA. If the students have 1496 miles to drive to reach
their destination and want to arrive in 24 hours, what rate of speed must they maintain in order to
arrive on time? How much faster can they arrive there if they travel only the major highways at
speeds of 65 mi/h? Is this a direct or inverse variation?
