Explanation:

the graph tells us :

she traveled the first 2 hours altogether 160 km.

then she stayed "still" somewhere (probably at a rest station) for 1 hour.

and then she traveled 3 hours at 60 km/h (kilometers per hour).

during these last 3 hours the given speed tells us that she was travelling 60 km for every hour.

so, in 3 hours she traveled

3 × 60 = 180 km

therefore, d is the total distance she traveled :

first 160 km

then 0 km

then 180 km

d = 160 + 0 + 180 = 340 km
