How long would it take Officer Davis to drive 650 miles if she drove 520 miles in 8 hours?

8 hours
10 hours
12 hours
14 hours

The correct answer is: 10 hours

To determine how long it would take Officer Davis to drive 650 miles, we first need to calculate her average speed based on the information provided. She drove 520 miles in 8 hours, which means we can find her speed by dividing the distance by the time: Average speed = Distance / Time = 520 miles / 8 hours = 65 miles per hour. Now that we have her average speed, we can use this value to find out how long it would take her to drive 650 miles. To do this, we divide the total distance by her speed: Time = Distance / Speed = 650 miles / 65 miles per hour = 10 hours. Thus, it would take Officer Davis 10 hours to drive 650 miles at her average speed. This aligns with the answer provided, which is 10 hours. Understanding the relationship between distance, speed, and time is crucial in solving such problems accurately.
