How much time did you save? Round answer to the nearest 10th.
:
Find the distance in miles, 50 min = 5/6 hr
5/6 * 58 = 48.33 miles
:
6mph faster = 64 mph; find the time required to travel 48.33 mi
48.33/64 = .7552 hrs
change to minutes
.7552 * 60 = 45.3 min
Find how much time saved: 50 - 45.3 = 4.7 minutes
