The distance traveled by Davis family = 35 miles

Time taken to cover the distance =
(1)/(2) hour

Speed = Distance
/ Time

Speed =
35 / (1)/(2)

Speed =
35 * 2

So, speed = 70 miles/hour.

At 2:00 pm, the family destination was 245 miles away.

So, the number of hours, when the family was 245 miles away =
245 / 70

= 3.5 hours

So, after 3.5 hours, that is at 5:30 pm, the Davis family will be 245 miles away.
