Respuesta :

Answer: The average distance the ambulance travels to reach an emergency situation is 6.64 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the speed formula:

Speed rate = distance / time  

Replacing with the values given:

0.83 miles per minute  = d / 8 minutes

Solving for d (distance)

0.83 mpm x 8 m =d

d =6.64 miles

The average distance the ambulance travels to reach an emergency situation is 6.64 miles.
