Answer:
[tex]1\ h\ 8\ min[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Hunter was biking for 2 hours 20 minutes and covered 35 miles
so
using proportion
Find out how long would it take him to cover 17 miles on this bike
Remember that
1 h=60 min
2 h 20 min=2(60)+20=140 min
Let
x -----> the time to cover 17 miles
[tex]\frac{140}{35}=\frac{x}{17}\\\\x=17(140)/35\\\\x=68\ min[/tex]
therefore
[tex]68\ min=1\ h\ 8\ min[/tex]
