Sara would take approximately 13 hours to drive from her home to New York.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance to be covered by Sara from her home to New York = 1150 km

one mile = 1.61 km

Distance in miles = 1150/1.61

= 714.286 miles

Average speed in which Sara would drive = 55 miles/hour

Time taken for traveling from home to New York = Distance/Speed

= 7114.286/55

=12.98 = 13 hours

Hence Sara would take approximately 13 hours to travel to New York from her home.
