What is the speed if 85distance given with 5hours and 48minutes given?

Question: What is the speed if the distance is 85 and the time is 5 hours and 48 minutes?Solution Process:First, we need to convert the time into a single unit (hours).48 minutes is equal to [tex]\frac{48}{60}[/tex] hours, which simplifies to [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] or 0.8 hours.So, the total time is 5 hours + 0.8 hours = 5.8 hours.Speed is calculated as distance divided by time: [tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex][tex]Speed=\frac{85}{5.8}[/tex][tex]Speed[/tex]≈[tex]14.655[/tex]Answer:The speed is approximately 14.655 miles per hour (assuming the distance is in miles and the time is in hours).
