Answer 7

You want to know how long it will take to drive 240 miles at 60 mph. How would you find that? Again , review the formula d = r t, where d=distance, r=rate (in mph), and t=time (in hrs).

thank you @mathmale

Answer 9

Sure.

Once you have the # of hours the trip will take, subtract that figure from 5:00 p.m. to find the departure time.

Please wait!!

Can you actually drive 240 miles in 40 minutes? I can't.

Ask yourself: does this result make sense? I think not.
