Question 892615: Amelia drives an average of 65 mph. Write and solve an equation to find the time it will take her to drive 56 miles
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance = Rate * Time

D = r*t

D = 65*t ... plug in the given speed

56 = 65*t ... plug in the given distance

56/65 = t ... Divide both sides by 65.

t = 56/65

t = 0.86153846 ... this is approximate

So it takes approximately 0.86153846 hours which is about 0.86153846*60 = 51.6923076 minutes
