Ana is traveling a total distance of 388 miles. She wants to get to point B in aproximate 7 hours. She wonders at what speed she will have to travel to make that happen. Use formula d=vt c, rearrange formula to highlight the distance quantity of interest.

Question

So my answer is: v=d/t meaning velocity equals distance over time.

Answer 1

You're on the right track! To find the speed (or velocity) Ana needs to travel in order to cover a distance of 388 miles in approximately 7 hours, you can use the formula:

\[ d = vt \]

Where:

• \(d\) = distance
• \(v\) = velocity (speed)
• \(t\) = time

To solve for velocity, you rearrange the formula:

\[ v = \frac{d}{t} \]

Now, you can plug in the values for distance and time:

• Distance (\(d\)) = 388 miles
• Time (\(t\)) = 7 hours

Now calculate \(v\):

\[ v = \frac{388 \text{ miles}}{7 \text{ hours}} \approx 55.43 \text{ miles per hour} \]

So, Ana needs to travel at approximately 55.43 miles per hour to reach point B in about 7 hours.
