Answer:

Angie has 6 hours remaining before she arrives at her destination.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Angie has traveled a total of 260 miles in 4 hours, her average speed was 65 mph (260/4). Thus, since Angie travels from the Tri-Cities to Salt Lake City, which are 650 miles away, the remaining distance for her is 390 miles (650 - 260). Therefore, maintaining her average speed of 65 mph, she has 6 hours (390/65) remaining before she arrives at her destination.
