Question

A car travels a steady speed of $x$ miles per hours. Calculate the time(in hours), in terms of $x$, will it take to drive $540$ miles.

• A. $540x$
• B. $540+x$
• C. $\frac{x}{540}$
• D. $\frac{540}{x}$
• E. $x-540$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{540}{x}$

Speed of the car is $x$ miles per hour.

To cover a distance of $x$ miles, it would take one hour.

Similarly, to cover a distance of $540$ miles, the car takes $\frac{540}{x}$ hours.
