To find out how long it would take John to travel 376 miles at the same rate, we first need to determine his speed.
John drove 235 miles in 5 hours.
We can calculate his speed (miles per hour) as follows:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{235 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 47 \text{ miles per hour} \]
Now, we need to find the time it would take to travel 376 miles at this speed. We use the formula for time:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]
Substituting in the values we have:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{376 \text{ miles}}{47 \text{ miles per hour}} \approx 8 \text{ hours} \]
Therefore, it would take John approximately 8 hours to travel 376 miles at the same rate.
