Question

Mr Jacobs travels for 2 hours by car and covers a distance of 220km. How long (in hours and minutes) will it take Mr jacobs to cover a distance of 325km at the same average speed

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours and 57 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply:

$\frac{2}{220}$ = $\frac{x}{325}$

so you get 650 = 220x

divide 220 on both sides and you get x ≈ 2.95

2 is the number of hour so we can leave it.

since we are trying to find minutes we have to multiply 0.95 by 60

0.95 × 60 = 57 minutes

so you get 2 hours and 57 minutes
