Respuesta :

the answer is 6.4 hours!!

explanation:

60 miles * 8 hours = 480 miles
75 miles * x hours = 480 miles
x hours = 480 miles / 75 miles
6.4 hours = 75 miles

Time taken with average speed of 75 mph is 6.4 hour.

Given that;

Time taken with average speed of 60 mph = 8 hour

Find:

Time taken with average speed of 75 mph

Computation:

Distance = Speed × Time

Total Distance = 60 × 8

Total Distance = 480 miles

Time taken with average speed of 75 mph = Total distance / Speed

Time taken with average speed of 75 mph = 480 / 75

Time taken with average speed of 75 mph = 6.4 hour
