Question

A trip from Ohio to New York is 529 miles. What equation shows the time t it takes to go by car if r is the average speed during the trip?

Answer 1

So let the distance covered be d.

Now total time taken = t.

And we know that avg speed(r) = Total distance(d)/Total time(t)

r = d/t

t = d/r

t = 529/r , where d = 529 miles distance
