Bob drove 30 and one third miles towards his house in one third an hour. About how long will the entire 100 mile trip take at this speed?

Respuesta :

It would take [tex]1\frac{9}{91}[/tex] hour to complete the entire trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered = [tex]30\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{91}{3}[/tex] miles

Time taken =[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] hour

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

[tex]\frac{91}{3} = Speed*\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 3

[tex]3*\frac{91}{3} = Speed*\frac{1}{3}*3[/tex]

91 = Speed

Bob was driving at 91 miles per hour.

Now,

Distance to cover = 100 miles

Time required = x

Distance = Speed * Time

[tex]100=91x\\91x=100[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 91

[tex]\frac{91x}{91}=\frac{100}{91}\\x=1\frac{9}{91}[/tex]

It would take [tex]1\frac{9}{91}[/tex] hour to complete the entire trip.
