Answer:
It will take her 4 hours and 10 minutes 
Explanation:
Here, given that Valery rides at a speed of 9.6 miles per hour, we want to find the number of hours it would take to ride exactly 40 miles 
Mathematically;
Distance = speed * time
Thus;
Time = Distance/speed 
Time = 40 miles/ 9.6 mph 
Time = 25/6 h
Since 60 minutes = 1 hour 
25/6 hours = 250 minutes which is same as 4 hours 10 minutes
