Max drove 460 miles in 8 hours at a constant speed. How long would it take him to drive 661.25 miles at that speed

Verified Answer :

bobeld

rate x time = distance

8r = 460  Divide both sides by 8

rate = 57.5 miles per hour

At that speed (57.5mph) and the distance of 661.25miles we should divide

661.25 miles ÷ 57.5 mph = 11.5 hours

Answer:

It will take 11.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Max drove 460 miles in 8 hours, so he drove 460/8 = 57.5 miles in one hour. Now,

\(\frac{57.5 miles}{1 hour}\) = \(\frac{661.25 miles}{x hours}\)

we found x,

x = \(\frac{661.25*1}{57.5}\)

x = 11.5 hours.
