Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 hours 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Time, speed, and distance are related by ...

  t = d/s

  t = (177 mi)/(36 mi/h) = 4 33/36 h = 4 11/12 h

The fractional part of this time is ...

  11/12 hour is (11/12)(60) = 55 minutes

The van will take 4 hours and 55 minutes to travel a distance of 177 miles.
