Answer:

2.5 hours aka 2 hours and 30 minutes

Explanation:

use unit analysis:


95 miles * (1 hour)/(38 miles)=(95)/(38)=2.5 hours

when you set up an equation like this, make sure you set it up so you end up with the unit you want. your question asked how long, whihc means our answer was going to be a unit of time, in this situation: hours.

so the given distance was 95, multiply that by the rate of change and make sure miles is in the denominator so that the "miles" get cancelled out and you're left with the unit of hours.
