Evan's family drove to a theme park for vacation. They drove the same speed throughout the trip. The first day, they drove 300 miles in 6 hours. The second day, they drove 250 miles in 5 hours. The third day, they arrived at the park after driving for 3 hours. How many miles did they drive on the third day?

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between speed, time and distance is such that the product of speed and time is distance.

Given that they drove the same speed throughout the trip

Speed on day one given that distance covered is 300 miles in 6 hours,

Speed = 300 miles / 6 hours

= 50 miles per hour

Speed on day two given that distance covered is 250 miles in 5 hours

= 250 miles / 5 hours

= 50 miles per hour

If on the third day, the speed is maintained and they drove for 3 hours,

Distance covered = 50 miles per hour * 3 hours = 150 miles

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rate (MPH) by dividing miles travlled by hours.

300/6 = 50 MPH

250/5 = 50 MPH

Multiply the hours on day 3 (3) by 50 MPH

3*50 = 150 miles
