We have the following relationship:


\begin{gathered} 65\text{ miles ----- 1hour} \\ 648\text{ miles ---- x} \end{gathered}

By applying the rule of three, we get


x=((648)(1))/(65)

then, x is given by


\begin{gathered} x=(648)/(65) \\ x=9.969 \end{gathered}

this means that the trip will take around 10 hours
