Answer 2

• Answer:

8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Max is averaging 52 miles per hour and the trip is 640 miles total. Max is already 224 miles into his road trip.

Let us find the remaining distance of trip by subtracting the distance already covered from total distance.

Remaining Distance = 640 miles - 224 miles

Remaining Distance = 416 miles

We will use formula: Time = Distance/Speed to find the number of hours Max still have to drive.

Time = 416 miles/52 miles/hour

Time = 416 miles/52 × hour/miles

Time = 416/52 hour

Time = 8 hours

Therefore, Max have left 8 more hours to drive.
