Convert Between Miles and Kilometres 5 - Reasoning
Maths Resource Description
Esin and her family are on a journey to Oxford, which is 58 miles away from where they started. By 9 a.m., they have already covered a distance of 73.6 kilometres. Given that they are travelling at a consistent speed of 60 miles per hour, we can calculate the remaining distance they need to cover and the time it will take to reach their destination. With the conversion of 73.6 kilometres to approximately 46 miles, it's clear that they still have 12 miles to go before they arrive in Oxford.
Travelling at 60 miles per hour, the family's remaining journey of 12 miles will take them 0.2 hours, which equates to 12 minutes. Therefore, if they maintain their speed and encounter no delays, Esin and her family are expected to arrive in Oxford at 9:12 a.m. This calculation ensures that they can accurately estimate their time of arrival and plan their day accordingly.
