Answer 1

​Traveling at 65 miles per hour, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 125 miles from San Diego to Malibu?

Since an hour = 60 minutes​

If it takes 60 minutes to travel 65 miles​ (speed)

X minutes it will take to travel 125 miles​

X = 125miles*60 minutes/65 miles = 115 minutes approximately​

Answer : 115 minutes approximately​
