if they make 53 miles an hour, and the park is only 48 miles away,
it took them less than an hour right?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, they did. Thanks again.

48/53 gives the fraction of an hour ;)

Distance = Speed * Time but we are looking for time so lets change the equation to : T = D/S

D = 48
S = 53

plug in your info...
T = 48/53 = .905 rounds to 0.9 or 9/10 of an hour
