To determine the time it takes to drive a distance of 60 miles at a speed of 40 mph, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Given: Distance = 60 miles Speed = 40 mph
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Time = 60 miles / 40 mph
Simplifying the expression:
Time = 1.5 hours
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert 1.5 hours to minutes:
Time = 1.5 hours * 60 minutes/hour
Time = 90 minutes
Therefore, it would take 90 minutes to drive 60 miles at a speed of 40 mph.
