You are looking for time , so use \[Time~=\frac{ Distance }{Rate }\]

OpenStudy (alli6106):

how many hours and how many minutes

OpenStudy (zale101):

You answer should be written in hours. If you want to convert it to minutes, then we know that there's 60 minutes per 1 hour. So, after you divide and get 5.5 hours, you times it by 60 minutes.

OpenStudy (alli6106):

OpenStudy (zale101):
