To solve problems about travel time: Distance = Rate • Time. We want to solve for time, so we rearrange the equation to isolate that variable. Time = ^Distance/_Rate Then we plug in our values: Time = ^Distance/_Rate= ^{26.2 miles}/_{5.13 mph} = 5.11 hours Then we multiply the decimal by 60 to find the number of minutes: 0.11 • 60 = 6.6 minutes = 7 minutes Finally, add the minutes to the hours: 5 hours and 7 minutes
