Answer:

420 miles

Explanation:

Givens

We are given that Cole drove a distance at a speed of 70 miles/hour. We are also shown that the driving time was 6 hours.

We are asked to find how many miles Cole drove.

Solve

Realize that since the speed is constant, it can be multiplied by the driving time to find the mileage.

Therefore, multiply the speed limit by the driving time:


\text{70 miles/hour} * \text{6 hours} = \text{420 miles}

Final Answer

Therefore, Cole drove 420 miles.
