Question 188750
    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?
.
Applying the "distance formula":
d = rt
where 
d is distance
r is rate or speed
t is time 
.
In our case:
d = 160
r = 65
.
160 = 65t
160/65 = t
2.462 hours = t
.
or,
2 hours and (.462)(60) minutes
2 hours and 28 minutes
