Ronaldo catches the bus at 4:00 PM to ride 3.2 miles from his house to the dentist office. He arrives at 4:30 PM, for a one hour appointment. Then he rides a bus traveling at the same rate of speed for 4.8 miles to the soccer field. Is he on time for his 6:30 PM soccer practice? PLEASE HELP!!

The trip from home to dentist is 3.2 miles and takes (less than?) 30 minutes
The average bus speed is 6.4 miles/hour.
Since the dentist appointment finishes at 5:30pm and he has an hour to go 4.8 miles, he will be on time to soccer.
