We are given the time taken to travel a certain as an estimated 4 hours 55 minutes. Also, the average speed for the journey is given as 51 miles per hour. To calculate the distance, the formula given is;

Note that the time is given as 4 hours plus a fraction of an hour, that is 55 minutes. To express this as a decimal we take the value of 55 minutes as a fraction of one hour, that is;

The time taken therefore can be expressed as;

The distance covered therefore would be;

We simplify and we now have;

Rounded to the nearest mile, that is, the nearest whole number;
