Answer:

3 hours and 40 mins

Step-by-step explanation

First, you check 3 hours times 50 miles and 3 hours times 60 miles to get how close they are. 3x50=150, and 3x60=180. 150+180=330. Then you multiply 4/6 or 2/3 by 5 and 6 then add them (because 40 mins is 2/3 of an hour) 50x2/3/2=100/3 and 60x2/3=120/3=40. 40+50/3=73 1/3. 73 1/3+330= 3 hours and 40 mins.
