you are traveling to chicago, and you pass a mile marker that says you have 191 miles to go.
How long will it take you to get to chicago if your average speed for the rest of the trip is 66 mi/h?
:
Assume you know that: Time = dist/speed
Therefore:
T = 191%2F66
T = 2.894 hrs
which is
2 + .894(60) = 2 hrs 53.6 minutes
:
:
Check this by finding the distance, dist = speed * time
d = 2.894 * 66
d = 191.0 mi; confirms our solution
