Let’s check out your problem:
The front of a brush fire is moving through some dead grass at a rate of miles per hour. Luckily, it is moving directly toward the fire station, which can dispatch a fire truck to fight the blaze. If the fire station is mile away and the truck can travel straight to the fire's front at miles per hour, how long will it be before the fire truck reaches the fire's front? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest minute.____ hours and ____ minutes

Q. The front of a brush fire is moving through some dead grass at a rate of miles per hour. Luckily, it is moving directly toward the fire station, which can dispatch a fire truck to fight the blaze. If the fire station is mile away and the truck can travel straight to the fire's front at miles per hour, how long will it be before the fire truck reaches the fire's front? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest minute.____ hours and ____ minutes
- Calculate combined speed: Calculate the combined speed of the fire's front and the fire truck moving toward each other.Speed of fire's front: miles per hourSpeed of fire truck: miles per hourCombined speed Speed of fire's front Speed of fire truckCombined speed miles per hour
- Determine time to reach: Determine the time it takes for the fire truck to reach the fire's front.Distance to fire's front: mileCombined speed: miles per hourTime Distance SpeedTime mile miles per hourTime hours
- Convert time to minutes: Convert the time from hours to minutes.Time in hours hoursMinutes in an hour: Time in minutes = Time in hours Minutes in an hourTime in minutes Time in minutes minutesRound to the nearest minute: minute
