Question

Tom is driving from Dallas to Houston, which is 362,000 m away. He drives with an average
speed of 1010 m/s. How long does it take him to get to Houston?
Round to the hundredths place and include units.

Answer 1

Answer: $358.42\ seconds$

Explanation:

The distance from Dallas to Houston is 362,000 meters:

$d=362,000\ m$

Tom  drives with an average speed of:

$V=1,010\ \frac{m}{s}$

Then, knowing these values, you can use the following formula in order to find the time "t":

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, you get:

$t=\frac{362,000\ m}{1,010\ \frac{m}{s}}\\\\t=358.415\ s$

Rounded to the the hundredths place:

$t=358.42\ s$
