Tameron is driving 540 miles to college. if he drives at an average rate of 45 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to get 3/4 of the way there?

Distance Tameron has to travel to reach college = 540 miles
Average speed at which Tameron drives = 45 miles per hour
It is required to find the number of hours it will take Tameron to drive upto 3/4th of the total distance to college. For this purpose we have to first find the 3/4 of the total distance.
Then
3/4 of the total distance to college = (3/4) * 540
                                                       = 3 * 135
                                                       = 405 miles.
Then
The time taken by Tameron to drive 405 miles = Distance traveled/Speed
                                                                           = 405/45
                                                                           = 9 hours.
So it will take Tameron 9 hours to drive 3/4 of the total distance to college.
