Question

Driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour, how long would it take to drive 240 miles?

• A. 5 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 3.5 hours
• D. 4 hours

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4 hours

Its given that,
Speed = 60 miles per hour
Distane = 240 miles

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance travelled}}{\text{Time taken}}$

$\therefore \text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance travelled}}{\text{Speed}}$
We have to calculate the time taken to drive 240 miles
Time $=\frac{240}{60}$
Time = 4 hours
So, it takes 4 hours to drive 240 miles.
