    Time is equal to the distance divided by the speed, so total time for the trip is

    (280km / 88km/h) + 24 min + (210km / 75km/h)
    (3.1818h) + 24 min + (2.8h)
    (3.1818h) + 0.4h + (2.8h)
    6.3818h

    You might want to convert the fractional hours to minutes by multiplying by the minutes per hour
    0.3818h x 60min/hr = apx 23min

    so the total time is 6h 23min
    1 0
