Answer Choices

a. 4 hours b. 8 hours c. 6 hours d. 24 hours

Answer 1

You would use the formula: Rate = distance / time which equals 55

Since we are asked for the time it takes to reach 3/4 the destination.We just use 3/4 of the value of the distance.

55 = (3/4)(440) / t

t = 6 hours

So the answer would be "C"
