Answer 2

Answer:355 miles

Explanation:

It took 6 hours to reach her aunt's house, which means that 2 1/2 hours is spent at 65 miles per hour which we get as 162.5. The rest of the trip took 3 1/2 hours at a constant speed of 55 miles per hour which we got 192.5 miles. Adding them together, we get 355 miles in 6 hours.
