Answer:

It took him 7.5 hrs to drive home.

Explanation:

The distance is the same, going or returning.

Recall that distance = rate times time.

Here, distance from Andrew's to his sister's is (60 mph)(8 hr) = 480 mi

If distance = rate times time, then time = distance / rate.

Here we have time = 480 mi / 64 mph = 7.5 hrs

It took him 7.5 hrs to drive home.
