Sierra is driving to visit her family. She wants to drive at least 500 miles today. She has already driven 248 miles and will keep driving at a constant speed of 62 miles per hour. What number of hours can Sierra drive to meet her goal of at least 500 miles? 500 ≤ 248 + 62x Both need different answers please

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.06451 hours

note this answer is not rounded as you did not indicate round to what decimal values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving using equation

500 ≤ 248 + 62x

500-248 ≤  62x

252 ≤  62x

252/62 ≤  x

4.06451 ≤  x

Another way to solve

500-248= 252

she needs to travel 252 miles

speed = 62mph

note: speed =  distance/time

therefore time= distance/speed

time = 252/62 = 4.06451
