Given:
Distance = 96 miles
Time = 60 minutes
Determine how long would it take to drive 10 miles.
Formula for velocity:
v = d/t
d = tv
t = d/v
v = velocity
t = time
d = distance
Solution:
In order to find how long would it take to drive for 10 miles, we must first determine the velocity of the car by substituting the given values of time and distance to the formula for velocity.
v = d/t
v = 96 mi/60mi
v = 1.6 mi/min
Now we need to divide 10 miles by 1.6 in order to determine how long would it take.
t = d/v
t = 10 mi/ 1.6mi/min
t = 6.25 min
Final answer:
6.25 min
