    A] the time that it will take them to complete the journey, convert to hours & minutes.

    Time = (distance) / (speed)

    distance=551

    speed=75 km/h

    thus

    time=551/75=7 26/75 hours

    =7 hours (26/75 * 60) min

    =7 hours 21 min

    2] the amount that they will spend on petrol if the petrol costs is R7.25 per litre?

    Total amount spent on petrol will be as follows:

    Cost of petrol R7.25 per Km

    Consumption=12 liters per 100 km

    thus amount of liters used:

    12/100*551

    =66.12 liters

    thus total cost of petrol used:

    66.12*7.25

    =R479.37
