Question 1016195: In a volcano, erupting lava flows continuously through a tube system about 21 kilometers to the sea. Assume a lava flow speed of 0.5 kilometer per hour and calculate how long it takes to reach the sea. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance = rate x time or d = rt...that means time t = d/r...and we have
t = 21 km / .5 km/hr = 42 hr
