Answer:

13 hours

Explanation:

using the relationship between distance (D), speed( S) and time (T)

D = S × T

given he drove 715 miles in 11 hours

substitute values into the relationship and solve for S

715 = S × 11 ( divide both sides by 11 )

65 = S

he is travelling at a rate of 65 miles per hour

substitute D = 845 and S = 65 into the relationship and solve for T

845 = 65 × T ( divide both sides by 65 )

13 = T

it would take him 13 hours to drive 845 miles at 65 miles per hour
