How long will it take to travel 850 miles an hour at 65 miles per hour?

Answer 1

You must make a formula and convert the units to solve this problem. 65 miles per hour is a speed. 850 miles is a length. If you are travelling at 65 miles per hour, then you will have traveled 65 for every hour. At this point, it becomes a simple division problem. 850 miles covered at 65 miles per hour is 850 miles/65 miles/hour. 850/65 = ~13. The miles on the top and bottom of the fraction cancel out, and you are left with hours. So the time taken will be ~13 hours.
