How many minutes does it take to travel 405 miles at a speed of 75 miles per hour? use sig figs. enter just the numerical value without units?
Accepted Solution
A:
From the basic equation: distance = rate * time, to determine the total time, we divide the distance by the rate. Time = 405 miles / (75 miles/hour) = 5.4 hours However, since we are asked to find the number of minutes, we must multiply this by 60 minutes per hour to get: (5.4 hours) * (60 minutes/hour) = 324 minutes
