--------
Equations are solved, questions are answered.

Use d = r*t
distance = rate * time
5:20 = 5 1/3 hours = 16/3 hours

A car travels at 60km per hour; so, given speed is s=60%28km%2Fh+%29
How far does it travel in 5 hour 20 minutes; so, given time 5 hour 20 minutes=%285%2B20%2F60%29h=5.33h, and
we need to find distance d
d=s%2At
d=60%28km%2Fh+%29%2A5.33h
d=60%28km%2Fcross%28h+%29%29%2A5.33cross%28h%29
d=60km%2A5.33
d=319.8km

Never make math problems more complicated than they already are, if they are!
Correct way:
You see, you don't have to change the fraction to a decimal.
It only makes the problem more complicated, and sometimes more time-consuming, and most times, this leads to an incorrect answer.
