PLSSSS HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

2:00 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

I figured out that the car is going 40 mph seeing as how it went 20 miles in 30 minutes.

I used this and found out how many hours it would take to get to 200 miles at this rate:

200/40 = 5

I divided 40 by 200 as 200 is the end goal and the car is going 40 mph.

The 5 is 5 hours, so I added 9 and 5 to get 14 which is 2:00 PM

Hope this helps!! :)
