Answer

$3.6 or 3hrs 36min $

$ d=r \times t$ plug the information given in to the formula d=90 r=50 t= you will solve for t $90=50\times t$ divide both sides by 50 since you want to get t by itself $90 =50\times t$ $\div50$ $\div50$ $1.8=t$ since the trip was ROUNDTRIP you double your awnser $1.8\times2=3.6$ to convert 3.6 into hours and minutes multiply the part after the decimal which is 0.6 by 60 since there is 60 minutes in an hour $0.6\times60=36$ the 3.0 already represents the hours so replace the 0.6 with the 36min it took 3hours and 36min to drive roundrip
