the time, t, required to drive a certain distance varies with the speed, r. if it takes 7 hours to drive the distance at 55 miles per hour, how long will it take to drive the same distance at 65 miles per hour?

We can use the formula:

time = distance / speed

Let's call the distance "d".

At 55 miles per hour, it takes 7 hours to travel the distance:

7 = d / 55

We can solve for "d" by multiplying both sides by 55:

7 * 55 = d

d = 385

So the distance is 385 miles.

Now we can use the same formula to find the time it takes to travel the distance at 65 miles per hour:

time = 385 / 65

time = 5.92 hours

Rounded to the nearest minute, it will take about 5 hours and 55 minutes to drive the same distance at 65 miles per hour.
