Answer 1

Bernie drove from his cousins house to his house in 5 hours 12 minutes at an average rate of 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

          The given is ,

                 Bernie drove from his house to his cousins house in 6 hours at an average rate of 52 mph.

                 If he drove at an average rate of 60 mph

Step:1

           To find the total kilometers or length

                 Total length = Average rate × Time taken

                                      = 52 × 6

                                      = 312 km

Step:2

          At an average rate of 60 mph to reach 312 km,

                 Time = $\frac{Total lenght}{Average Rate of speed}$

                           = $\frac{312}{60}$

                           = 5.2

                           = 5 hours 12 minutes

Result:

       The time taken to reach the house is 5 hours 12 minutes.
