This summer, the Harris family wants to go to San Diego, California. They estimate that their destination is about 658 miles from their house. If they drive 75 miles each hour and they add another 35 miles to the total distance to sightsee, about how long should it take them to get to their destination?

658 + 35 = x
x/75 = time
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
658 + 35 = 693
693/75 = 9.24
So your answer would be 9.24 hours.

hahaha not off by an hour just a fraction of one
OpenStudy (mathmate):
Even there, I think the computer had a "glitch".
For the records, the correct answer is still 9.24 as @undeadknight26 had it.
