A car travels at an average speed of 56 miles per hour. How long does it take to travel 238 miles?
Distance = Rate * Time. Here, what is the Rate? Be certain to include units of measurement. What is the total Distance traveled? its units of measurement? You want time, or, rather, the amount of time required to travel the given distance at the given rate. Take this Distance = Rate * Time equation and solve it for Time, t, before plugging in the values of Distance and Rate. Time = Distance / Rate
so it would be 4.25? @mathmale
yea
but it's asking me to put it in hours and minutes.. so 4 hours and 25 mins?

thanks (: last one, A light bulb consumes 1800 watt-hours per day. How many watt-hours does it consume in 5 days and 6 hours. Answer should be in ___ Watt-hours. :o
@magepker728
5days +6hrs = 126hrs right?
no I got it wrong :(
we are not done yet
do you understand how i got 126hrs?
oh oops
?
yes
ok now take 1800 watt-hrs divide it by 126 and multiply by 24
342?
here is an easiest way 1800(5* 6/24) 1800(5*1/4) 1800(21/4)=9450 watt hrs
oh alright. I have to do 1 more to finish since I got it wrong the first time :s. the next on is, A copy machine makes 119 copies in 4 minutes and 15 seconds. How many copies does it make per minute? @magepker728
