Susie is driving from Springfield to Smallville, which are 252 miles apart. She has already driven 162 miles. If Susie drives at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour, what equation can we make to find out how much time Susie will take to get to Smallville? Represent the time in hours as the variable $ x $.

The formula that will determine how long it will take Susie to get to Smallville, based on the distance between Springfield and Smallville, is x = 2 hours.

Based on the given conditions,

Susie is driving from Springfield to Smallville = 252 miles

Susie already drove = 162 miles

If Susie drives at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour.

What equation shows the time taken :

We can find out the number of miles that are still left to be driven :

= 252 miles - 162 miles

= 90 miles

The number of hours taken to get to Smallville is :

= Number of miles left / Constant speed

With x as the time in hours, the equation becomes:

x = 90 miles / 45

x = 2 hours

Therefore,

Based on the distance between Smallville and Springfield , the equation that will find the time taken for Susie to get to Smallville is x = 2 hours.
