undefined To calculate the driving time from San Francisco to Los Angeles at an average speed of 72 miles per hour, divide the distance between the two cities by the speed. The distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is approximately 380 miles. So, the driving time would be 380 miles / 72 miles per hour = 5.28 hours. Convert hours to minutes: 5.28 hours * 60 minutes per hour = 316.8 minutes. Rounded to the nearest minute, it will take about 317 minutes to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles at an average speed of 72 miles per hour.
