How long would it take to drive 500 miles at 45 miles an hour?

Answer 1

11 hours and 6.6 minutes

The equation for finding time in this problem is:

Distance / Speed = Time

It will look like this:

500 miles / 45 miles per hour = Time
11.11(recurring) hours = Time

Now lets convert .11 to minutes, there are 60 minutes in one hour, in order to convert .11 hours to minutes we must do this:

.11 x 60 = 6.6 minutes

Now we can complete the answer:
11 hours and 6.6 minutes is about how long it takes to drive 500 miles at 45 miles per hour.

Answer 2

500/45 = 100/9 = 11 and 1/9 hours
