A car travels at an average speed of 52 mph how long does it take to travel 286 miles

The answer is 5.5 because 286 divided by 52 equals 5.5

The formula we use is

Speed = distance / time

or

distance = speed * time

here in this question we are provided with speed = 52 mph

and distance = 286 miles

Now formula

distance = speed * time

286 miles = 52 mph * time

divide both sides by 52

286 / 52 hours = time

time = 5.5 hours

or we can also say

5 hours 30 minutes
