Answer:

No, we will not get there on time.

Step-by-step explanation:

" Mileage is  number of miles traveled or covered "

                 Abilene    Dallas       El Paso       Lubbock       San Antonio

Abilene        n/a...........  185...............447............ 165................. 261  

Dallas             185.............n/a.............. 633.............351................ 277  

El Paso           447........... 633...............n/a...............344...............558  

Lubbock          165 ............351.............. 344...............n/a................394  

San Ant           261............. 277.............. 558............. 394................n/a

Now we are given that: " You are driving from Lubbock to Abilene at 55 mph. You must be there in 2 1/2 hours".

As the Number of miles between Lubbock to Abilene is 165.

And the speed is given to be 55 mph.

So the time taken to reach Abilene is given by:

As we know that time taken= (Distance covered)/(Speed)

Hence time taken=(165)/(55)=  3 hours.

Hence we can't reach there on time( i.e. [tex]2\frac{1}{2}hour[/tex])
