Answer: 5:30pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of family destination from the starting point = 245miles

Average speed = 35miles/1/2hour

Therefore 245 miles = 245/35 x 30mins.

7 x 30 = 210minutes.

Converted to hour by dividing by 60

210/60 = 3hours 30minutes.

Current local time at the point of commencement

Therefore, the arrival time at their destination = 14hours + 3hours 30mins.

= 17hours 30minutes. Convert to local time

17hours 30minutes = 12hours

= 5:30 pm in the evening

They have succeeded in spending 3hours 30minutes on the road. The final answer = 5:30pm.
