Edward is attending a meeting in Leicester and needs to arrive by 10:30am.
Edward leaves Bristol at 8am and drives at an average speed of 50mph.
He drives 120 miles from Bristol to Leicester.
What time will Edward arrive in Leicester and will it be before his meeting at 10:30am?
Answer:
Distance/speed = time
120/50 = 2.4 which equates to 2 hours 24 minutes (0.4 x 60 = 24 minutes)
Therefore, Edward will arrive at 10:24 am and will be in time for his meeting.
