Answer 1

264 miles

Explanation:

Let's convert 3 hours and 40 minutes into hours first.

Recall that 1 hour = 60 minutes.

Therefore 40 minutes = 40/60 hours = 2/3 hours.

The car travelled 3 and 2/3 hours in total.

Recall that distance = speed times time.

The car has travelled 72 x 3 2/3 miles = 264 miles.
