A group of college students eager to get to Florida on a spring break drove the 710-mi trip with only minimum stops. They computed their average speed for the trip to be 55.7 mi/h. How many hours did the trip take?

Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of trip = 710-mi

Average speed for the trip = 55.7 mi/h

Find:

Time taken for trip = ?

Computation:

⇒ Time = Distance / Speed

⇒ Time taken for trip = Distance of trip / Average speed for the trip

⇒ Time taken for trip = 710-mi / 55.7 mi/h

⇒ Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)
