Answer: x= 11

Explanation:

To answer the question, we first need to know how many miles he/she/it can drive in one hour (to make it simpler. Doing a bunch of calculations involving decimals and other stuff can be very confusing)

335 divided by 5 is 67

Therefore in one hour Ivan can drive 67 miles. We want to know the TIME it takes for Ivan to drive 737 miles and the formula for time is Distance / Speed.

The distance is 737 miles

The speed is 67 miles/hour

737 divided by 67 is 11

Therefore Ivan takes 11 hours to drive 737 hours
