Ok, well you asked this question here: http://openstudy.com/users/joshuam1#/updates/4fb3eef2e4b055653429c427

So basically this is the formula you need, you now have to solve for distance instead of time, right?

So do you know how to start this problem now?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Another way to speak about it is that you travel x miles in 1 hour, then you travel 1x.
If you keep going on for 5.5 hours, then 5.5x is the expression you get.

x = 59, so substitute.

Answer 11

5 1/2 x 59

Answer 12

You get an answer that you'll have to round to the nearest whole.
