Answer:

240 miles

Explanation:

Step 1

We find the constant rate at which the family travels

Speed(Rate) = Distance/Time

A Family travels at a constant rate and drove 420 miles in 7 hours.

Speed(Rate) = 420 miles/7 hours

= 60 miles per hour

Step 2

If they drive at the same speed ,How many miles will they drive in the next four hours.?

We are to finally calculate the distance for the next 4 hours

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed = 60 miles per hour

Time = 4 hours

Distance = 60 miles per hour × 4 hours

Distance = 240 miles

Therefore, for the next 4 hours the number of miles they would drive is 240 miles
