Sandy drives the first 3 hours of her trip at 65 miles per hour. The last hour of the trip she drives 62 miles per hour. How far did Sandy drive on her trip?

(3 * 65) + 62 = ________ miles

Thank you for helping me Ms.Sue^.^ ♡^♡

You're welcome, Lauren.

To calculate the distance Sandy drove on her trip, we can use the formula: distance = speed x time.

First, let's calculate the distance Sandy traveled in the first 3 hours of her trip. Sandy drives at a speed of 65 miles per hour for 3 hours, so we can multiply the speed by the time: distance = 65 miles/hour x 3 hours = 195 miles.

Next, let's calculate the distance Sandy traveled in the last hour of her trip. Sandy drives at a speed of 62 miles per hour for 1 hour, so the distance covered is: distance = 62 miles/hour x 1 hour = 62 miles.

Now, we can calculate the total distance Sandy drove by adding the distance covered in the first three hours to the distance covered in the last hour: total distance = 195 miles + 62 miles = 257 miles.

Therefore, Sandy drove a total distance of 257 miles on her trip.
