The Gonzalez family drove from 10:38 am to 2:05 pm. How long did they drive?

3 hours and 27 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

2:05 pm = 14:05 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

14:05 = 13 hours + 60 minutes + 5 minutes = 13 hours + 65 minutes

then:

 13h  65m

- 10h  38m

=  3h  27m

they drive:

3 hours and 27 minutes

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
