Explanation

Speed = 55 mph. Time = 240 minutes = 4 hours. Distance = Speed * Time = 55 * 4 = 220 miles.

AI explanation

First, convert the travel time of 240 minutes into hours by dividing by 60, yielding 4 hours. Then, using the formula distance equals speed multiplied by time, the distance travelled is 55 multiplied by 4, which is 220 miles.
