Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover tyhe distance)

120 m/h = (distance) / 3.5 hours

Multiply each side
by 3.5 hours:

(120 mile/hour) x (3.5 hr) = distance

distance = 420 miles

We know, v = d / t
Here, v = 120 miles/hour
t = 3.5 hour

Substitute their values,
120 = d / 3.5
d = 120 * 3.5
d = 420 miles

In short, Your Answer would be 420 miles

Hope this helps!
