Question #2
Leaving from home on the first part of a 317 mile trip Jim drove at 58 miles an hour and made a pit stop in Ely at the Sinclair station. After getting some coffee he proceeded south on 93 with a velocity of only 52 miles per hour for the remainder of the trip because it started to snow. He finally got to his destination after driving 5 hours and 45 minutes, neglecting the time for coffee. How far is Ely from his home?
