Kim drives 156 miles from rotherham to London.She has an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
kicyunya [14]
Currently, you would ask "How long does it take to get from Rotherham to London?" You would do 156/60, which would be 2.6 hours. 2.6 hours is 156 minutes (2 hours, 36 minutes).
9:36 is when Kim would reach London, so yes.
