Best estimate is usually da mean.
Mean of speed = (60 + 70)/2 = 65
Mean of time = (3 + 4)/2 = 3.5
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 3.5 × 65
Distance = 227.5 miles.
D) 210 miles is da closest, so answer is ' d '
Hope this helps

First you have to find a average for the rates. (60+70)/2 = 65 miles per hour Then find the average time (3+4)/2 = 3.5 hours Speed = distance/time So distance= speed * time =65 miles per hour/3.5 hours =227.5 miles

to find distance multiply together the rate and time
in this case 65 * 3 hr 30min (210min) = 13700 (approx.)
the answer would be B) 160miles
