212°. "Degree" Alt Code: 0176.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Ricky is going down Scholastic Street at an average speed of 30 mph for 10 miles. He then hops onto Herpes Highway and breezes at an average speed of 60 mph for 30 miles until he arrives at his house. If he gets onto Scholastic Street at 8:50 am, approximately what time will he arrive at his house?
