Jimmie johnson won daytona 500 mile race with a rate of 159.250 mph in 2013. find his time to the nearest thousandth

we know that

the rate is equal to the speed

speed=distance/time

solve for the time

time=distance/speed

in this problem we have

speed=159.250 mph

distance=500 miles

substitute in the formula

time=500/(159.250)

time=3.1397 hours> round to the nearest thousandth

so

time=3.140 hours

therefore

the answer is

3.140 hours

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3

it is not that hard all u have to do is plot the graph
