Best way to solve this is to use a table...
The problem tells us that the car travels 55 miles per hour so we know the value for 1 hour right out of the problem.
Trip_%28time+in+hours%29______.5______1______1.5______2_____Etc.
Trip_%28miles+travelled%29___27.5____55_____82.5_____110____Etc.
Etc.
Best of luck!
