Respuesta :

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes [tex]=\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h[/tex]

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is [tex]10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours [/tex]
