Q. George is driving at an average speed of

70

miles per hour. At this rate, how long, in minutes, will it take him to complete a

400

-mile road trip?

\newline

(Round your answer to the nearest minute.)

Calculate Time in Hours: First, we need to find out how many hours it will take by dividing the total distance by the speed. $\newline$ So, $400 \, \text{miles} \div 70 \, \text{mph} = 5.71428571 \, \text{hours}.$
Convert Hours to Minutes: Now, we convert hours to minutes because we want the answer in minutes. $\newline$ So, $5.71428571$ hours $\times 60$ minutes/hour $= 342.857143$ minutes.
Round to Nearest Minute: We need to round the answer to the nearest minute. $\newline$ So, $342.857143$ minutes rounds to $343$ minutes.
