Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by rates, using a rule of three.
52 miles in one hour. How many hours for 247 miles?
1 hour - 52 miles
x hours - 247 miles
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]52x = 247[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{247}{52}[/tex]
[tex]x = 4.75[/tex]
It takes 4.75 hours = 4 hours and 3/4*60 = 45 minutes to travel 247 miles.
