2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a straight line graph. A straight line graph is used to represent a linear equation. A linear equation is represented by the equation: y = mx + c, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope (rate of change) and c is the intercept.

A line passing through the point can be represented by the equation:

Let y represent the distance in miles and x represent the time in hours. From the graph, the line pass through (0.5, 100) and (3.5, 700). Hence using:

answer: 32.68
