Math Problem Statement

How long will it take a car traveling 85km per hour to go 156 kilometers?

Solution

To calculate the time it will take a car traveling at 85 km/h to cover 156 kilometers, we can use the formula:

Time=DistanceSpeed\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

Given:

  • Distance = 156 kilometers
  • Speed = 85 kilometers per hour

Substitute the values into the formula:

Time=156851.835 hours\text{Time} = \frac{156}{85} \approx 1.835 \text{ hours}

So, it will take approximately 1.835 hours, or about 1 hour and 50 minutes, to travel 156 kilometers at 85 km/h.

Would you like a detailed breakdown or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might find useful:

  1. How can you convert 1.835 hours into minutes?
  2. What would the time be if the speed was 100 km/h instead?
  3. How do you calculate the distance if you know the speed and time?
  4. What if the car needs to stop for 15 minutes during the trip—how would that affect the total travel time?
  5. How does changing the speed affect the time taken to travel the same distance?

Tip: Always double-check units (like km/h vs. km/min) to ensure consistent calculations.
