Keller is driving at a speed of 60 MPH. At noon he sees the following sign: Belmont 3 miles Arville 17 miles Blison 35 miles Longwood 52 miles Swan's Lake 120 miles If he continues to drive the same speed, how far away will Longwood be at 12:20pm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

32 miles

Explanation:

Assuming that the speed of 60 mph is constant

Distance = Speed × Time

Time is 20 minutes

Converting to hours

[tex]\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}\ h[/tex]

[tex]Distance=60\times \frac{1}{3}\\\Rightarrow Distance=20\ mi[/tex]

The car covered 20 mi in 20 minutes.

Distance to Longwood would be [tex]52-20=32\ mi[/tex]

Distance to Longwood is 32 miles
