Answer:

Explanation:

The first thing to notice about this problem is that you have a mixture of Metric and English units. The first thing that I would recommend is to convert 410 miles into Kilometers

1 mile = 1.61 km

410 miles = (410*1.61) = 660 km (rounded to the nearest km)

Now you need to know the time. The formula for travel is d=rt. You know the distance, and you know the rate, solve the formula for time.

t=d/r.

t=660km/120km/k

t=5.5 hours. Plus add the 2 15 minutes breaks. 2*15=30 minutes. 60 minutes in an hour means that you add 30/60 hours to the trip, or another .5 hours.

Therefore the answer is 5.5+.5 hours.

The answer is: time=6 hours.
