Rene is going to the lake to visit some friends. If the lake is 60 miles away and Rene is driving at 40 miles per hour the entire time, how long will it take her to get to the lake?
Answer (3)
40 h o u r mi l es ⋅ 60 min u t es 1 h o u r = 60 40 = 3 2 min u t e mi l e N o w t ha t w e ha v e t h e s p ee d in min u t e mi l es , w h e n w e c a l c u l a t e t h e t im e , i t w i ll a l so b e in min u t es t im e = s p ee d d i s t an ce t im e = 3 2 60 = 60 : 3 2 = 6 0 30 ⋅ 2 1 3 = 90 min u t es A n s w er : R e n e g e t s t o t h e l ak e f or 90 min u t es
Total Time Taken = Distance Traveled / Speed So, Time = 60 / 40 hours = 3 / 2 hours = 1.5 hours
So, the final answer is --> it will take 1.5 hours for her to reach the lake.
Rene will take 90 minutes to reach the lake, as calculated using the formula for time based on distance and speed. With a distance of 60 miles and a speed of 40 miles per hour, we find that 90 minutes is the total travel time. This is equivalent to 1.5 hours.
