A certain hurricane travels at 20.88 kilometers per hour. The distance from Cuba to Key West is 145 kilometers. Write and solve a multiplication equation to find about how long it would take the hurricane to travel from Cuba to Key West. (I'm seriously stumped here, the back of the book can't even help me understand what it's asking)

Sagot :

v = 20.88 km / h  ( velocity )
d = 145 km ( distance )
Velocity formula: v = d / t
t = d / v  ( time )
t  = 145 km : 20.88 km/h
t = 6.94444 h
We have to multiply 0.94444 by 60 minutes.
0.94444 · 60 = 56.67 ≈ 56 minutes 40 seconds
Answer:  It would take 6 hours 56 minutes and 40 seconds.
