Answer: 9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Tameron is driving 540 miles to college.
i.e. Total distance = 540 miles.
Average speed = 45 miles per hour
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of the total distance = \(\dfrac{3}{4}\times540=405\text{ miles}\)
Formula : \(\text{Time }=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}\)
Then, the the time taken to cover \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of the total distance
\(=\dfrac{405\text{ miles}}{45\text{ miles per hour}}\\\\=9\text{ hours}\)
Hence, it will take 9 hours to get 3/4 of the way there.
