Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation d = 65 t, where d represents the distance, in miles, that the car travels at this speed in t hours.

We know distance, speed and time relation

d = s * t.

Where d represents the distance, that the car travels at this speed in t at the speed s.

If we compare that relation with the given equation, we can see s = 65.

So,

a) The 65 tell us speed of 65 miles per hour in this situation.

b) Second part seems to be incorrect. Please check it again.

c) We are given distance = 26 miles.

Plugging d= 26 in the given equation.

26 = 65 t

Dividing both sides by 65, we get

26/65 = t

t= 0.4 hours.

So, it takes 0.4 hours or 0.4 * 60 = 24 minutes o travel 26 miles at this speed.
