Make a Selection:
A. 48 miles
B. 50 miles
C. 32 miles
D. 60 miles

Answer 1

Answer: 48

Explanation:

8 (MPH) x 4 (H) = 32 miles covered in 8 hours.

2(MPH) x 8 (H) = 16 miles covered in 8 hours.

32 + 16 = 48 MPH

Answer 2

4 hours at 8 miles an hour: 8(4) = 32 miles in total

8 hours at 2 miles an hour: 2(8) = 16 miles in total

Miles in total: 32 + 16 = 48

The answer is A. 48 miles
