Answer 2

`1\ h\ 8\ min`

Explanation:

we know that

Hunter was biking for 2 hours 20 minutes and covered 35 miles

so

using proportion

Find out how long would it take him to cover 17 miles on this bike

Remember that

1 h=60 min

2 h 20 min=2(60)+20=140 min

Let

x -----> the time to cover 17 miles

`(140)/(35)=(x)/(17)\\\\x=17(140)/35\\\\x=68\ min`

therefore

`68\ min=1\ h\ 8\ min`
