Answer:

b.[tex]t=\frac{1}{2} hour[/tex]

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The average velocity (v) is defined as the ratio between the displacement (d) that a body performed and the total time (t) that the displacement lasted and is calculated using the following formula:

[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]Formula (1)

v: velocity

d: Displacement

t: Time

Known data:

[tex]v=60 \frac{miles}{hour}[/tex]

d = 30 miles

Problem development

We replace data in formula (1):

[tex]60\frac{miles}{hour}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{30miles}{t}[/tex]

[tex]t= \frac{30 miles}{60\frac{miles}{hour} }[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{1}{2} hour[/tex]
