Answer:

The car has been on the road for 0.49 hours

Explanation:

A car is traveling 35 miles/hr for 17 miles.

Speed of a car = 35 miles/hr

Distance travelled = 17 miles

The relationship between speed, distance, and time is given by

Distance = Speed × Time

Put Speed = 35 miles/hr, Distance = 17 miles

[tex]17=35[/tex] × Time

Time = [tex]\frac{17}{35}=0.49[/tex] hours

So, the car has been on the road for 0.49 hours

The time car has been on the road has been 0.49 hours. Thus, option D is correct.

Speed can be defined as the distance traveled by the object in unit time. The speed can be expressed as:

[tex]\rm Speed\;=\;\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

The car has been given to be traveling at:

Speed = 35 miles/hr

Distance traveled = 17 miles.

The time taken by car to travel 17 miles can be calculated by substituting the values as:

[tex]\rm 35\;miles/hr\;=\;\dfrac{17\;miles}{Time}\\\\\\\\Time\;=\;\dfrac{17\;miles}{35\;miles/hr}[/tex]

Time = 0.49 hr.

The time taken by car to travel 17 miles has been 0.49 hours. Thus, the correct option has been D.
