We know that rate is equal to distance per time. You can use this relation to solve for what is asked here. We calculate as follows:

Rate = distance / time = 55 miles/hour

since we are asked for the time it takes to reach 3/4 the destination. We just use 3/4 of the value of the distance.

55 = (3/4) (440) / t

t = 6 hours

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
