The time it takes to travel a given distance varies inversely as the average rate of travel. If it takes 4 hours to drive to Roanoke while driving an average of 55 mph, what would be the average rate of travel it takes if you drive the same distance in 3 hours and 40 minutes?

Explanation:

distance = rate X time

d = 55 m/hr * 4 hr

d = 220 miles

distance / time = rate

220 miles / (3 2/3 hr ) = 60 m/hr
