D = rt

38 mi = (215 mi/hr)t

t = 38/215 hr = .1767 hr = 10.60 min

215/1=38/x
215x=38
x=38/215
x=0.177 hrs
---------------
x=60*0.177
x=10.6 min

We use the formula D = rate times time.

We write the formula this way: D = rt.

Let D = 38 miles

Let r = 215 miles per hour

We need to find t.

D = rt

38 = 215t

38/215 = t

0.17674418604 = t

We now convert 0.17674418604 to time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

It will take you 0.0 hours, 10.0 minutes, 36.0 seconds.

To convert 36.0 seconds to minutes, divide 36 by 60 seconds in one minute.

This division will yield the decimal answer 0.6.

Adding 0.6 to 10.0 gives us 10.60 minutes.

Remember, you are moving at a speed of 215 miles per hour.

The answer is 10.60 minutes.

I hope this helps.
