Speed = 7 mph
distance = 77 miles
+time+=+distance%2Fspeed
time = 77/7
time = 11 hours

Hello,
A couple ways to figure this out. We could have x represent hours it will take.
7x=77
Divide by 7 and we get:
x=11 hours
Makes sense, right?

Distance = rate*time, if rate is constant.

77 miles = (7 mi/hr)(t)

t = 11 hr
