Answer:
Time taken by the object = 14 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of an object = [tex]9\frac{4}{5}[/tex] miles per hour ≈ 9.8 miles per hour
Distance covered by the object = [tex]2\frac{1}{5}[/tex] miles ≈ 2.2 miles
Formula to calculate the distance in the time 't' is,
Time taken by the object = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Speed of the object}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2.2}{9.8}[/tex]
= 0.2245 hours
= 13.47 minutes
≈ 14 minutes
Therefore, distance traveled by the object to cover 2.2 miles = 14 minutes.
