    Time = (distance) / (speed)

    speed=55 mi/hr

    Total distance=440 miles

    Distance covered=275 miles

    remaining distance=440-275=165 miles

    Time taken to cover the remaining distance will be:

    time=165/55=3 hours

    Total time taken to travel=440/55=8 hours

    if we are to use the equation given by:

    55h+275=440

    time taken will be found by solving for h, thus we shall have:

    55h=440-275

    55h=165

    h=165/55

    h=3 hours

    Answer: 3 hours
