You drive for 120 miles at a rate of 50 miles per house How

You drive for 120 miles at a rate of 50 miles per house. How long would it take for you to drive this distance at this rate?

Solution

based on the problem we are looking for the time of travel. we have the formula distance = rate * time. Since, rate and distance are given which are 50miles per hour and 120 miles respectively, we can now solve the time of travel... that is, time= distance/rate
t = 120 miles/50 miles per hour
t = 2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes
i hope this can help...
