Well, how long will it take you to drive 135 miles at 55mph?

at 55 mph, you're doing 55 miles every hour, so we can simply get the quotient of 135/55 and that's how many hours it'll take you to drive 135 miles at that speed.

\bf \cfrac{135}{55}\implies \cfrac{27}{11}\implies 2\frac{5}{11}~hours\implies \textit{about 2hrs, 27 minutes}

so, it takes you that long, however, from 3:15 to 5:00pm there are only 45mins + 60mins or 1hr and 45 minutes, namely 1¾ hr.

so 2hrs and 27 minutes is much later than 1¾ hr, so, no dice, you can't arrive at 5pm, actually you'll arrive around 5:42pm.

From 3 pm to 5 pm is 2 hours, so you have less than 2 hours if you start at 3:15.

In two hours at 55 mph, you can drive 2×55 miles = 110 miles. It will take more than 2 hours to drive 135 miles at that speed.

Is it possible? NO
You cannot complete in less than 2 hours a trip that takes more than 2 hours to do.

Under a reflection in the line y = x

a point (x, y ) → (y, x ) , thus

(- 1, - 2 ) → (- 2, - 1 )

(1, 1 ) → (1, 1 )
