If you drive from Dublin to Galway at a constant speed of 70 miles per hour, but pause

for 30 minutes for lunch, how long is your trip in total? Round your final answer to the
nearest tenth of an hour

The distance between Dublin and Galway is approximately 125 miles.

If you drive at a constant speed of 70 miles per hour, it will take you 125 / 70 = 1.79 hours to get to Galway.

Pausing for 30 minutes for lunch means you will add 0.5 hours to your trip.

So, your trip in total will be 1.79 + 0.5 = 2.29 hours.

Rounding to the nearest tenth of an hour, your trip will take 2.3 hours in total.
