Answer 2

This one actually stumped me pretty hard.
I feel like I could just multiply the minutes to the hours..
but Idk, I'm really bad at math, I'm 18 doing freshman math because I couldnt ever bother to come to school, but I'm trying now so I'm ready to learn it, any help would be appreciated really. :)

Answer 3

these problems don't appear at all at higher level math courses, so I forgot how to do them

Answer 4

65 miles each hour

how many hours it takes to travel 125 miles ?

Answer 5

well if I do 65+65 I get 130 miles.

Answer 6

Yes, in 2 hours you travel 130 miles

Answer 7

The answer is 115, this was a trick question

Answer 8

never said 130 is the answer

Answer 9

One dumb way to work this problem is like this :

Time = \(\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}\)

= \(\dfrac{\text{125 miles}}{\text{65 miles/hour}}\)

= \(\text{1.92 hours}\)

Answer 10

multiply that by 60 to get the time in minutes

Answer 11

That's exactly what I did, and got 115.2

Answer 12

You got it right!

Doing whatever it takes!

Answer 14

I think inquisitiveness is the foremost of all the virtues for a student to have, keep it up! :)

Answer 15

omg I had that answer earlier... I was doing 125/65 and got 1.92 too :(

Answer 16

and the miles label gets canceled out leaving with hours. so 1.92 hours -> approx. 2 hours.
