    A. 3 hours 20 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The distance divided by the speed gives you the time.

    (234 miles) / (70 mph) = 3.343 hours.

    3.343 hours is decimal hours. We need hours and minutes.

    1 hour = 60 minutes. We separate the whole hours from the decimal part of the hours, and we multiply the decimal part of the hours by 60 to find minutes.

    3.343 hours =

    = 3 hours + 0.343 hours

    = 3 hours + 0.343 hours * 60 minutes/hour =

    = 3 hours + 20.6 minutes

    The closest answer is:

    A. 3 hours 20 minutes
