To make a conjecture about the time it would take to drive 135 miles to a game, we need to establish a line of fit based on previously given data, usually in the form of a linear equation that represents distance versus time.
Assuming that we have a linear function in the form of \( y = mx + b \), where:
- \( y \) is the time (in hours),
- \( m \) is the speed (in miles per hour),
- \( x \) is the distance (in miles),
- \( b \) is a y-intercept that represents the initial time (if any).
Let's say, for instance, you have previously calculated a speed of 60 miles per hour (which can be adjusted if you have an actual speed from your data), then the equation would be:
\[ y = \frac{1}{60}x \]
For a distance of 135 miles, we’d substitute \( x = 135 \):
\[ y = \frac{135}{60} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ y = 2.25 \text{ hours} \]
To convert 2.25 hours into hours and minutes:
- The 0.25 of an hour is 15 minutes (0.25 * 60).
Thus, it takes approximately **2 hours and 15 minutes** to drive 135 miles.
So, rounded to the nearest tenth of an hour, it would be **2.2 hours**.
However, please adjust my assumptions (like the driving speed) to match any specific data you may have.
