The driving distance between Manchester and London is 195 miles. Farid intends to travel from Manchester to London by coach. The coach will leave Manchester at 3.30pm.

Answer:

7:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

At 50 mph, it will take 195/50 = 3.9 hours to reach London

3.9 hours = 3 .9 * 60 = 3 hours and 54 minutes(54 = 0.9 * 60 )

3:30 + 3:34 ==> 7:24

(one way to do this is to add up the hours and minutes separately so we get 6:84) Since 84 minutes = 1 hour and 24 minutes, just add 1:24 to 6 to get 7:24

Another way to do this is to see that if the distance was 200 miles, then it would take exactly 4 hours (200/50) to reach at 7:30pm But it is short by 5 miles. At the speed of 50mph, the time taken to travel 5 miles = 60/50 * 5 = 6 minutes so deduct 6 minutes from 7:30pm to get 7:24pm

If the train is slower average speed, then the arrival time is delayed beyond 7:24pm
