Question

Question 9 options:

A)

4 hours

B)

3.5 hours

C)

3 hours

D)

2.5 hours

Answer 1

To find the time it takes to travel a certain distance at a given speed, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]

In this case, the distance is 180 miles and the speed is 60 miles per hour.

Plugging the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{180 \text{ miles}}{60 \text{ miles per hour}} = 3 \text{ hours} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

C) 3 hours
