Explanation

Time is calculated by dividing the total distance by the speed. Given distance is 540 and speed is x, the time is 540/x.

AI explanation

Using the basic time, speed, and distance formula, time is calculated by dividing the total distance by the steady speed. Substituting the given values into the formula Time = Distance / Speed yields Time = 540 / x hours. The result is 540/x.
