Question 651940: About how long does it take to travel 200 miles if you average 65 miles per hour?
I am a fifth grader and I did my work, when I divided my answer was 3 remainder 5. I know the 3 stands for the hours, but what about the five. I would like an answer with an explanation because I don't want to just write down the numbers without an idea of why that is my answer.

The answer 3 that you got means you were traveling for 3 hours at 65 miles per hour.
Now, if you had been traveling for 3 hrs at this rate, you covered only 3*65=195 miles
The remainder 5 you got is the additional miles you need to travel to reach 200 miles.
Since 65 miles of travel require 1 hr , 5 miles of travel, require 5/65=1/13 hr or about 4.6 minutes. So your total time to travel 200 miles at 65 mph=3+1/13 hours or 3 hrs+4.6 min
