Answer:

D. 1 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the unit rate to then multiply it by 90. to find the unit rate I did 240 miles divided by 4 hours to get 60 miles per hour. So we know we need at least 1 hour to get the 60 miles and to get 90 miles we need to add 30. Since 30 is half of 60 we can just take half of 1 hour which is 30 minutes. we add it together and get 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 1 hour and a half.

Time taken to cover 90 miles is 1.5 hours

Given that;

Time taken to cover 240 miles = 4 hours

Find:

Time taken to cover 90 miles

Computation:

Time taken to cover 90 miles = [90 / 240]4

Time taken to cover 90 miles = [360 / 240]

Time taken to cover 90 miles = 1.5 hours
