How long does it take to drive 548 miles at 50 mph?

Answer 1

50 mph = 50 miles in 60 minutes

= 5 miles in 6 minutes

divide both by 5 so

5/5 miles = 1 mile in 6/5 minutes

= 360/5 seconds = 72 seconds

548 x 72 = 39,456 seconds

= 39,456/60 minutes = 657.6

= 657.6/60 hours = 10.96 hours

Answer: 10 hours 57 minutes 36 seconds.

Alternatively, speed = distance/time

so time =distance /speed

= 548/50 hours

= 10.96 hours, or 10 hours, 57 minutes and 36 seconds.
