After lunch, they fly 175 miles at an average speed of 35 mi/h. Including, the lunch break, how many hours was their entire trip? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
Rhonda found that 10 super-sized helium balloons provide just enough lift to carry her 3-pound toy. At that same rate, how many super-sized balloons would be required to carry Rhonda’s 81-pound Alaskan malamute?
