Stage 1 The car travels 110 miles in 2 hours.
Stage 2 The car travels 44 miles at the same average speed as Stage 1
Work out the time for Stage 2
Give your answer in minutes.
[3 m

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the speed is the same for Stage 2, the time is proportional to the distance.

  t2/(44 mi) = (120 min)/(110 mi)

  t2 = (44/110)(120 min) = 48 min . . . . . . multiply by 44 mi

The time for Stage 2 was 48 minutes.
