Question

1. mrs. gordon was skiing down the mountain at a velocity of 25 mi/hr. the ski run covers 1.5 miles. how long did it take mrs. gordon to reach the lodge at the bottom of the run? .06 hours (or about 3.6 minutes) 16 hours 37.5 hours false: mrs. gordon was in the lodge drinking hot cocoa the whole time.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for time

The formula for time \(t\) is \(t=\frac{d}{v}\), where \(d\) is distance and \(v\) is velocity.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(d = 1.5\) miles and \(v=25\) mi/hr. Then \(t=\frac{1.5}{25}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(t=\frac{1.5}{25}= 0.06\) hours. To convert hours to minutes, use the conversion factor \(1\) hour \( = 60\) minutes. So \(0.06\times60 = 3.6\) minutes.

Answer:

.06 hours (or about 3.6 minutes)
