The chamois are traveling from Arizona to Texas. On the first leg of the trip, they drove 500 miles in 10 hours. If they continue driving at the same rate, how many hours will take them to drive 750 miles?

Respuesta :

Answer: it will take them 15 hours to drive 750 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chamois are traveling from Arizona to Texas. On the first leg of the trip, they drove 500 miles in 10 hours.

Speed = distance covered/ time

Time = distance covered/speed

Speed during the first leg of the trip would be

500/10 = 50 miles per hour

If they continue driving at the same rate, then the time it will take them to drive 750 miles would be

750/50 = 15 hours
