Answer:

585 miles

Explanation:

We can use the formula

Distance = rate * time

We know the time = 540 minutes and the rate = 65 miles per hour

The units are not the same so convert the 540 minutes to hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

540 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = 9 hours

Distance = 65 miles / hour * 9 hours

= 585 miles
