Answer 1

C. 30 miles

Step-by-step explanation

Allen is taking a 150 mile trip and he has already driven for 2 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.

To find how many miles he will still need to drive, we have to first find how many miles he has driven.

We have that:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Speed = }(dis\tan ce)/(time) \\ \Rightarrow\text{ distance = spee}d\cdot\text{ time} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we have that the distance he has driven is:

distance = 60 * 2

distance = 120 miles

Now, we subtract the distance he has driven from the total distance of the trip. That is:

Distance remaining = 150 - 120

Distance remaining = 30 miles

He will still need to drive 30 miles.
