Sarah drives from Baltimore to Ocean City at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. If the distance is 160 miles, how long will the trip take?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Applying the \"distance formula\":
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "d is distance
\n" ); document.write( "r is rate or speed
\n" ); document.write( "t is time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In our case:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 160
\n" ); document.write( "r = 65
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "160 = 65t
\n" ); document.write( "160/65 = t
\n" ); document.write( "2.462 hours = t
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "or,
\n" ); document.write( "2 hours and (.462)(60) minutes
\n" ); document.write( "2 hours and 28 minutes
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
