Answer:

4.25 hours

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you should know that:

  • Time = distance / speed

The distance that the car wants to go is 238 miles. The speed it is going at is 56 miles (per hour), so substitute 238 for distance and 56 for speed.

  • Time = (238) / (56)
  • Time = 4.25

Since we were given the speed in miles per hour, the time it would take to travel that distance is also going to be given in hours.

The car will take 4.25 hours to travel 238 miles.
