A train starts its 221 mile trip at 7:30 A.M. If the train travels at an average
speed of 34 miles per hour and stops exactly four minutes at each of ten
stations, at what time in the afternoon will it arrive at its final destination?
:
total time (t) = travel time (hrs) + stop time (min)
t = 221%2F34 + 10(4)
t = 6.5 hrs + 40 min: converts to 7 hrs 10 min
7:30 AM + 7:10 = 2:40 PM
