    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

    Feel free 2 email me if u have any more questions !

    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

    65x3.5=227.5 miles

    God bless you.
