Answer:

9.9 hours, rounded to the nearest tenth hour.

Explanation:

To calculate the time of travel, we must first divide the distance by the speed. Why, you ask? Because of this equation:


Speed\=\ (distance)/(time)

Therefore, with a little bit of arrangement, we get:


Time\=\ (distance)/(speed)

So, let's get on with it.


Time\=\ (643 \ miles)/(65 \ mph)


Time\=\ 9.9 \ hours

Finally, we have our answer: 9.9 hours, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hope this helped!
