Final answer:

To find out the arrival time at Fort Myers, we need to calculate the total driving time from Tallahassee to Tampa and then from Tampa to Fort Myers, and add it to the departure time of 2:30 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the arrival time at Fort Myers, we need to calculate the total driving time from Tallahassee to Tampa and then from Tampa to Fort Myers, and add it to the departure time of 2:30 am.

  1. From Tallahassee to Tampa, the drive takes 5 1/2 hours, so you would arrive at Tampa at 8:00 am (2:30 am + 5 1/2 hours)
  2. From Tampa to Fort Myers, the drive takes 1 1/2 hour, so you would arrive at Fort Myers at 9:30 am (8:00 am + 1 1/2 hours)

Therefore, you would arrive at Fort Myers at 9:30 am.
