To find out how long it will take the object to travel 4 9/10 miles at a steady speed of 10 1/10 mi/h, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the time it takes to travel 1 mile: Divide 1 by the speed of 10 1/10 mi/h.

1 / 10 1/10 = 1 / 10.1 ≈ 0.099

It takes approximately 0.099 hours to travel 1 mile.

2. Multiply the time for 1 mile by the distance of 4 9/10 miles to find the estimated time to travel the given distance:

0.099 * 4 9/10 ≈ 0.099 * 4.9 ≈ 0.4851

The estimated time to travel 4 9/10 miles is approximately 0.4851 hours.

3. Round the estimated time to the nearest integer:

The estimated time of 0.4851 hours is closest to 0.

Therefore, it will take the object approximately 0 hours (or no time) to travel 4 9/10 miles at a steady speed of 10 1/10 mi/h, according to the rounded estimate.
