Given what you have here, you can figure out the distance by
Distance = Rate x Time
Distance = 55 miles/hour x 1.5 hours
Distance - 82.5 miles

OK, your given miles per hour - 55. Hours - 1.5 (1 hour 30 is 1 and a half hours).
Miles = mph * hours.
Multiply 55 by 1.5 to get the answer.

the miles per hour is given as 55
so she went 1.5 hours
1.5(55)=82.5 miles she drove
