Answer:

[tex]Arrival\ Time = 5:30\ pm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Current\ Time = 4pm[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 70mph[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 105miles[/tex]

Required

Determine the arrival time

First, we calculate the time taken from Belfast to Dublin using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Substitute values to the expression.

[tex]70 = \frac{105}{Time}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]70 * Time = 105[/tex]

[tex]Time = \frac{105}{70}[/tex]

[tex]Time = 1.5\ hour[/tex]

Arrival time is then calculated as:

[tex]Arrival\ Time = Current\ Time + Time\ Taken[/tex]

[tex]Arrival\ Time = 4pm + 1.5\ hour[/tex]

[tex]Arrival\ Time = 5:30\ pm[/tex]
