Question

Hans drove 756 miles in 12 hours. At the same rage, how long would it take him to drive 504 miles?

Answer 1

Given:

Distance, d=756 miles.

Time taken, t=12 h.

The speed of Hans can be calculated as,

$s=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{756}{12}=63\text{miles/h}$

The new distance to be drived, D=504 miles.

Now, the time taken to travel distance D=504 miles with the same initial speed s is,

$t=\frac{D}{s}=\frac{504}{63}=8\text{ h}$

Therefore, Hans takes 8 hours to drive a distance of 504 miles.
