Question 215717
How long will it take to drive 47 miles at 25 miles per hour?


Step 1.  distance = speed * time OR  time =distance/speed.


Step 2.  time =47 miles/25 miles per hour = 1.88 hours.  


Step 3.  Convert 1.88 hours into hours and minutes.  1 hour = 60 minutes.  Then, 1.88 hours = 1 hour + 0.88 hour*60 minutes/hour = 1 hour and 53 minutes.


Step 4.  ANSWER. It will take 1.88 hours or approximately 1 hour and 53 minutes.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
