Jamie took 2 hour and 30 minutes to reach the because 5:30-3:00=2hours and 30 minutes.Raul took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach state park because 4:30-3:00=1 hour and 30 minutes.Since they went in opposite directions you can add the time to get 4 hour.It would take 4 hours to go from the beach to state park.There speed was 60 miles per hour since 240/60=4/1 mph.
