Question

How long will it take to drive 480 miles if you are driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 10 hours
• C. 5 hours
• D. 9.3 hours

Answer 1

The correct option is A

8 hours

Given, speed is 60 mph and distance 480 miles

Distance = Speed $\times$ Time

$\Rightarrow$ time = $\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

$\therefore$ Time taken to drive 480 miles = $\frac{480}{60}=8$ hours
