Depends on how many miles the ROAD etween the two are. As the crow files is not the same as road distance. Assuming your distance was road distance. (trying to outthink the trick question)
T=d/r
94/65 = 1.44
If you mention how hany have fully elapsed, it is 1
If you mean how many must you budget for, 2 with no stops.
But if there is a great smoothie stand about 10 miles out that uses fresh squeezed orange juice and purees real berries and has waitresses that know how to keep a man occupied, It would take me 24 hours.
Or, you could use Zeno's paradox and NEVER get there.
An infinite amount of half distances = never getting there.

OK I take the bait.
Distance = 94 miles
speed = 65 mph
time = 94/65 = 1.446 hours

The answer in whole hours is 2. The exact answer is 1+29/65. This isn't a trick question.

94/65=1.45=1 HOUR AND 45 MIN.
