Guy is being transferred from his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Sedona, Arizona. Google Maps tells him the driving distance is 1,725 miles. Guy's research tells him that the speed limits will vary from 60 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr. a. If he is able to drive at a speed that is an average of these rates, how long will he be driving? Express your answer in hours and minutes. b. His company is paying for his moving expenses at a rate of $0.54/mile plus $50.00 per hour of driving time. How much will Guy's company pay him for moving expenses?
