12.992 or 13 (rounded) hours
If you convert 1150km to miles it will be approximately 714.577 miles , now 714.577/55=12.992309090909090

Answer:

The trip will take 13 horas

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

We have to travel 1150 km and one mile equals 1.61km.

We can do the conversion from km to mile

1150km * (1 mile / 1.61km) = 714.29 miles

Then we know that we travel 55 miles / h

Then we can calculate

714.29 miles * (1h / 55miles) = 12.99h = 13h

The trip will take 13 horas
