she drove from the beach to her friend’s house. That took her 1 hour and 37 minutes.
How much time did Rachel spend driving altogether?

Answer 1

To find out how much time Rachel spent driving altogether, we need to add the time spent driving to the beach and the time spent driving from the beach to her friend's house.

1. **Driving to the beach**: 3 hours and 14 minutes
2. **Driving to her friend's house**: 1 hour and 37 minutes

Now, let's add these times together.

**Step 1: Add the minutes**
- 14 minutes + 37 minutes = 51 minutes

**Step 2: Add the hours**
- 3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours

Now, we combine the total hours and minutes:
- Total time = 4 hours and 51 minutes

Therefore, Rachel spent a total of **4 hours and 51 minutes** driving altogether.
