Given:
Distance = 120 miles
Time = 3 hours
Determine how long will it take to travel 200 miles.
Formula for Velocity:
v = d/t
t = d/v
d = vt
v = velocity
t = time
d = distance
Solution:
Solve first for the velocity of the car, then solve for the time it would take to get to 200 miles.
v = d/t
v = 120 miles/3 hours
v = 40 miles/hour
t = 200 miles/ 40 miles/hour
t = 5 hours
Final answer:
It would take 5 hours for the car to travel 200 miles.
