Showing Original Post only (View all)You're traveling at 80 miles per hour. [View all]
You're on a clear highway, your cruise control is set at 80 MPH.
There is no traffic.
You are cruising at 80.
How long will it take you to go 80 miles?
This is not a trick question.
It's very straightforward.
You would be absolutely amazed at how many people DO NOT get the concept of 'miles per hour'.

I chose 8 minutes. 8X80=640 squared root of 640 is about 25.3 25.3X3.162= about 80
