Answer:


12(9)/(10) miles


Explanation:

In 1 day, you drive
4(3)/(10) miles [round trip, to and from]

So, in 3 days, you will drive
4(3)/(10)*3 miles [to and from]


Changing
4(3)/(10) into improper fraction [for ease of multiplication] and multiplying by 3 gives us our answer:


4(3)/(10)*3\\=(43)/(10)*3\\=(129)/(10)


So, in total
(129)/(10)=12(9)/(10) miles are driven in 3 days
