Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming that you want to travel 2500 miles going 25 mph and you want to know the time t it will take to get there.

d = rt

2500 = 25t

2500/25 = t

100 = t

t = 10

So it will take 10 hours.

This means that if it left at noon (12:00 pm), then it will arrive at 12:00pm +10:00 = 22:00 = 10:00 pm
