How long would it take to travel 345 miles if you are going 55mph and dont stop?

What would you guess?
You only have 2 numbers to deal with.
Is it 345*55 = 18975 hours? seems like a lot.
Maybe you have to divide:
55/345 =~ 0.16 hours, or about 10 minutes. If it takes 1 hour to go 55 miles, that doesn't make sense either, does it?
---------------
Also, 345 miles * 55 miles/hr give square miles/hour, and
55 miles/hr divided by 345 miles gives just "per hour", no distance.

You try it. I'll be glad to check your work if you email via the thank you note.
