Explanation:

We have to travel 2000 km at a speed of 73 miles per hour. We have to find how long will it take us to go to Key West.

speed = 73 mi/hr

distance = 2000 km

Before we solve the problem we have to convert the km to mi.

1 mi = 1.61 km

distance = 2000 km * 1 mi/(1.61 km)

distance = 1242 mi

Finally we can find the time.

Time = 1242 mi * 1 hr/(73 mi)

Time = 17.0 hr

Answer: The trip will take 17.0 hours.
