Answer:

Ed has traveled for 3 hours and 17 minutes, and has 2 hours and 28 minutes left to travel.

Explanation:

Given that Ed is on a road trip and he has already traveled 201 miles and is driving at a rate of 61 mph, the equation could be used to find how many hours he has traveled and how many and has left in his road trip traveling 697 total miles is the next:

201/61 = 3.29

100 = 60

29 = X

29 x 60/100 = X

29 x 0.6 = X

17.4 = X

So, Ed has traveled for 3 hours and 17 minutes.

697 - 201 = 496

496/201 = 2.46

100 = 60

46 = 0

46 x 0.6 = X

27.6 = X

Thus, he has 2 hours and 28 minutes to travel.
