Brandon's family is planning a trip from Dallas to San Antonio. Dallas is about 272 miles from San Antonio. If Brandon's dad drives an average of 60 miles per hour, about how long will the trip take?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the trip will take a total of 4h 32m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Brandon's father travels 60 miles per hour, to know how long it takes to travel 272 miles we first have to know how long it takes to travel 1 mile and then multiply it by the number of miles he travels

60 mi = 1h

1 hour equals 60 minutes

1h = 60 m

60 mi = 60 m

we divide both parts by 60

60 mi / 60 = 60 m / 60

1 mi = 1m

brandon's father travels 1 mile per minute

we multiply 272 which is the number of miles I travel and we will get how long it takes

1 mi = 1m

1 mi * 272= 1m * 272

272mi = 272m

it takes 272 minutes to travel

we convert the minutes to hours

272m = 4h 32m
