$0.43 " hours"$

$(15 cancel"miles")/(35 cancel"miles"/"hour") = (cancel5*3)/(cancel5*7) " hours" = 3/7 " hours"= 0.43 " hours"$

$0.43$ hours or approximately $26$ minutes.

We use the distance-time equation, which states that,

$t=d/s$

$d$ is the total distance travelled

$s$ is the speed

And so, we got:

$t=(15color(red)cancelcolor(black)"miles")/(35color(red)cancelcolor(black)"miles""/h")$

$~~0.43 \ "h"$
