(1700)/(55)
Reduce the expression (1700)/(55) by removing a factor of 5 from the numerator and denominator.
(340)/(11)
The approximate value of (1700)/(55) is 30.91.
30.91 hours

use the formula D=VT, where D=distance, V=velocity (or speed) and T=time

You know that D =1700 miles, and V = 55mph. Solve for T.

D=VT
T = D/V
T = 1700/55
T = 30.9

It will take the truck 30.9 hours to travel 1700 miles.
