Explanation:

The given is ,

Bernie drove from his house to his cousins house in 6 hours at an average rate of 52 mph.

If he drove at an average rate of 60 mph

To find the total kilometers or length

Total length = Average rate × Time taken

= 312 km

Step:2

At an average rate of 60 mph to reach 312 km,

Time =

`(312)/(60)`

= 5.2

= 5 hours 12 minutes
