Answer 1

justtt a giirl Actually you did not give as When will the Concert start so we will be able to compute your starting time.  But here instead I will give you how much time to travel from starting point to the concert.

Distance = 48 miles

Speed = 40 mile/hr

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 48/40

Time = 1.2

0.2 x 60 = 12 min

Time needed to reach the concert place = 1 hours  & 12  min.

======================================...

So you have to start 1 hr & 30 min before the concert start so you have still 18 min. for other necessities before the concert start..

======================================...

hope this helps

Answer 2

48 miles × 1hr/40 miles = 1.2 hours

Answer 3

remeber you have to take into account traffic, stoplights, stops for gas food restroom or whatever. Plus you HAVE to get there about and hour early if there are no assigned seats.

Answer 4

D = R * T

48 = 40T

48/40 = T

1.2 = T

1.2 hours = 1 hour and 12 minutes

How? 60 minutes to an hour, and .2(60) = 12

So you should leave at least 1 hour and 12 minutes early.
