All you have to do to solve this problem is set up a simple ratio.

65/1 = 330/x

Solve for x and that will be the number of hours you spend on your trip. X comes out to equal 5.1 hours.

Mathematically perhaps so, but not very elegant. All you need do is divide the distance in miles, by the speed in mph.

Or, Time = Miles/Speed, so Time = 330/65 = 5.1 h. Simple as that.

You don't need to "set up ratios", add unknowns like that "x" and introduce a reciprocal - I have noticed other simple arithmetical questions on 'Answers', solved by curiously roundabout methods that merely complicate them.
