You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance equation is: d=rt, where d=distance, r=rate, t=time.
d = 60 miles
r = 55 miles/hr
t = 60/55 = 1.090909 hr
.
But they stopped for 10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6 = .166667 hr
.
Combined the trip tooK 1.090909 + .166667 = 1.257576 hr
.
Or about 1 hr, 15 minutes, and 30 seconds.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t=d/s
t=60/55=1.0909hrs
change to mins 1hr=60mins 1min=60secs
1.0909x60= 65.45454545mins
65mins and .45454545x60secs
65mins and 27secs+ extra 10 min stop
75min 27secs = 1hr 15mins 27secs
