36 miles is equal to 1 hour ( 60 minutes)

Do a ratio,,

36 : 60
87 : ?

To work out the unknown ratio, do 60/ 36 and then multiply by 87 to get


145 minutes. To convert that into hours you would get 2 hours and 25 minutes

Add that on to 07 00

He would get there at 09 25

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)
