About how many drive hours will it take the Cortez family to make the trip?

Respuesta :

towl35

Step-by-step explanation:

Miami is approximately 1,054 mi away from Washington DC. assuming the Cortez family is driving in a straight line the time they will be on the road is

[tex]let \: h = hrs[/tex]

[tex] 1054mi \div \frac{55mi}{h } \\ \frac{1054mi}{1} \times \frac{h}{55mi} \\ = \frac{1054mi(h)}{55mi} [/tex]

The miles unit, mi cancels and leaves us with hours, h

[tex] \frac{1054 \: h}{55} \: \: \: \: is \: approx. \: \: \: \: 19.16 \: \: hrs[/tex]
