Math Problem Statement

The distance between Lily's home and her uncle's home is 45 km. Father drove her there at 60 km per h. How long would it take to drive there?

Solution

To determine the time it would take for Lily's father to drive her to her uncle's home, we can use the formula:

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

Given:

  • Distance = 45 km
  • Speed = 60 km/h

Plugging in these values:

Time=45 km60 km/h=0.75 hours\text{Time} = \frac{45 \text{ km}}{60 \text{ km/h}} = 0.75 \text{ hours}

Since 0.75 hours is equivalent to 45 minutes, it would take 45 minutes for Lily's father to drive her to her uncle's home.

Here are some related questions:

  1. How far would they travel in 30 minutes at 60 km/h?
  2. If they increased their speed to 80 km/h, how long would the trip take?
  3. How long would the return trip take if they drove at 50 km/h?
  4. What would the travel time be if the distance was 90 km at the same speed?
  5. How much time could be saved by increasing the speed from 60 km/h to 75 km/h?

Tip: Always remember to keep the units consistent when using the distance, speed, and time formula.
