It usually takes vaughn 12 minutes to drive to school. she drives an average of 50.0 miles per hour. what is the distance from school to vaughn's home in inched?

  = 633,600 Inches

Speed refers to the rate of change in distance traveled by a body in motion.

It is the ratio of distance to time taken.

It is calculated by;

Speed = Distance ÷time taken

Therefore;

Distance = Speed × time

In this case;

Time taken = 12 minutes ( but 1 hr = 60 mins)

Thus, t = 0.2 hours

Speed = 50.0 miles/hour

Thus;

Distance = 50.0 miles/hr × 0.2 hours

               = 10 miles

But, we are require to give the distance in inches;

1 mile = 63360 Inches

Therefore;

10 miles = 10 × 63360 Inches

            = 633,600 Inches

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
