Final answer:

In this case, it will take you approximately 8.93 hours to get home.

None of the given options is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it will take you to drive 862 km, we need to convert the speed from miles per minute to kilometers per hour. Since 1 mile is equivalent to 1.609 km and 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can multiply the given speed by 1.609 and 60 to get the speed in km/hr.

1.0 mi/min * 1.609 km/mile * 60 min/hr = 96.54 km/hr

Next, we can divide the distance of 862 km by the speed of 96.54 km/hr to find the time it will take to get home:

862 km / 96.54 km/hr = 8.93 hours

Rounding to two decimal places, it will take you approximately 8.93 hours to get home. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided.
