Traveling at 45 miles per hour, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 240 miles from Orlando to Miami?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The distance is equal to the speed multiplied by the time. We already have the distance and the speed, so we divide them to get the time.

240/45=5 1/3 hours

However, we want this in minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so we just multiply by 60!

5 1/3×60=320

Therefore, it takes 320 minutes to drive from Orlando to Miami.

Have a wonderful day! :D
