Explanation:

65 miles to kilometers is 104.607

Convert 1 hour to minute and that will be 60 minutes because 60 minutes makes and hour.

Now divide the kilometers by the number of minutes

104.607 / 60 = 1.74345

The speed will be 1.74345 kilometers per minute.

B) Convert 3.5 hours to minutes.

3.5 hours is the same as 210 minutes

Now multiply it by 1.74345 to determine how many kilometers you have traveled.

1.74345 * 210 = 366.1245

You will travel 366.1245 kilometers in 3.5 hours.
