Solving a word problem involving rates and time conversion A car travels at an average speed of 52 miles per hour. How long does it take to travel 247 miles?

It takes 4.75 hours(4 hours and 45 minutes) to travel 247 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by rates, using a rule of three.

52 miles in one hour. How many hours for 247 miles?

1 hour - 52 miles

x hours - 247 miles

Applying cross multiplication:

It takes 4.75 hours = 4 hours and 3/4*60 = 45 minutes to travel 247 miles.

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
