How many hours will they drive on the second day?

Respuesta :

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation: 65x4=260 455-260=195 195/65=3

The time taken by Jacob's family on the second day will be 3 hours.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

The time is calculated as:-

For 4 hours of driving at an average speed of 65 miles per hour, the distance covered is,

d = 65 x 4 = 260 miles

Miles remaining for the second day is,

455 - 260 = 195 miles

Time taken to cover 195 miles second day is,

T = 195 / 65 = 3 hours

Therefore, the time taken by Jacob's family will be 3 hours.
