Answer:

  about 14.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance can be written any of three ways:

  • time = distance/speed
  • distance = speed×time
  • speed = distance/time

__

Here, the question asks for the travel time, so the relevant relation is the first one. Filling in the given values, we have ...

  time = (2 mi)/(0.14 mi/h) ≈ 14.29 h

It would take about 14.3 hours to travel 2 miles.
