Jason's meeting starts at 3 p.m. and is 270 miles away. He estimates that he can average 60 miles per hour. What time should he leave if he wants to arrive on time?

Answer:

He should leave by 10:30 a.m

Explanation:

If he drives 60 miles per hr it will take him 270÷60=4.5 (4 n half) hrs to reach there.

If he want to be there at 3p.m he should leave by 10:30 a.m
