Answer:

It will take 8 hours for Frank and Mary to get to the beach

Explanation:

Step 1: Give expression for calculating

d=s×t

where;

d=distance traveled i miles

s=speed in miles per hour

t=time in hours

in our case;

d=520 miles

s=65 miles per hour

t=unknown

Step 2: Solve for the unknown, t

In order to solve for t, the expressions can be rearranged as follows ;

t=d/s

replacing values for d and s;

t=520/65

t=8 hours

It will take 8 hours for Frank and Mary to get to the beach
