Distance+=+Rate+%2A+Time
330+=+55+%2A+Time
330%2F55+=+Time
6+=+Time
You need to drive 6 hours
If you start at 11PM, you'll get to the destination at 5 AM

Using d=rt, we get 330=55t. Solve for 't' to get t=330%2F55=6. So it takes 6 hours which means that you'll arrive at 11 pm + 6 hours = 5 am

The fact that you start at 11pm is not important.


D = rt

330 = 55t

330/55 = t

6 = t

Assuming that you make no stops, it will take you 6 hours to make the trip if

you keep the same rate per hour.

If starting at 11pm, you will arrive at 5am.
