Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the formula distance = rate x time to solve the problem.

The rate is 15 miles per hour and the time is 3 1/3 hours.

To work with the time, we need to convert it to an improper fraction:

3 1/3 = (3 x 3 + 1)/3 = 10/3

Now we can plug in the values:

distance = 15 x 10/3

distance = 50 miles (rounded to the nearest mile)

Therefore, Jaq rode 50 miles.
