Jeremiah Gilbert · Answer 1

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If they drove the same speed throughout the trip, we can find the speed from

d = rt

Solving for r

d/t = r

300 miles / 6 hours = r

50 miles per hour = rate (or speed)

On the last day, the drove 3 hours.

d = rt

d = 50 miles per hour * 3 hours

d = 150 miles
