Answer 1

3. about 7.48 hours

4. about 1.8892 hours

Explanation:

Both of these questions make use of the relation ...

time = distance / speed

3. time = (965 mi)/(129 mi/h) ≈ 7.48062 h ≈ 7.48 h

__

4. time = (612.1 mi)/(324 mi/h) ≈ 1.889198 h ≈ 1.8892 h

(We have rounded the time to sufficient precision so that the distance at the given speed rounds to the number given.)
