Answer:
The answer is 36 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance is speed multiplied by time. ( when we have steady speed )
Distance=speed* time
We are looking for time.
Time=Distance /speed
Distance= 5 1/5 miles=5,20
Speed=8 2/3 miles=8,66
T=5.20/8.66666=0,60
1 hour is 60 minutes
T=0,60/60 minutes=36 minutes
The time that it'll take the object to travel in 5 1/5 miles is 36 minutes
Let the time taken for the object be represented by x. The equation to solve the question will be:
5 1/5 / 8 2/3 = x / 60
Cross multiply
(8 2/3 × x) = (5 1/5 × 60)
8 2/3x = 312
x = 312/ 8.67
x = 36
Therefore, the time that it'll take the object to travel in 5 1/5 miles is 36 minutes.
