he drives 270 miles in 6 hours and 6x2= 12 so we are going to divide 270 in 6.
270%6= 45.
Now we multiply: 270x2=540
and we add 45 that equals an hour of driving.
540+45= 585
Now we got 13 hours of driving
Thuy drives 585 miles in 13 hours.

One way you can solve this is with proportions/ratios with multiplication

(270miles)/(6hours) = (X miles)/(13hours)

Cross Multiply

(270 miles)(13 hours)=(X miles)(6 hours)

3510=6X

(3510)/(6) = (6X)/(6)

585 miles=X

The answer is 585 miles
