Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. You are driving 55 miles per hour. You must drive 440 miles total. If you have already driven 275 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination? Use h to represent the number of hours it will take to reach your destination use the equation 55h+275=440.
A. 30 hours
B. 2 hours
C. 3 hours
D. 1 hour
Solving the equation 55h + 275 = 440 for h, we get:
55h = 440 - 275
55h = 165
h = 165/55
h = 3
Therefore, it will take you 3 hours to reach your destination. The answer is C.
