John has been driving 60 miles an hour for 3 hours

The total distance to his destination is 240 miles

Since, D = R x T

Where, D = distance

R = rate

T = time

Since he drives 60 miles an hour, Then rate = 60/1

Rate = 60 miles/hour

From D= R x T

R = 60

T = 3

D = 60 x 3

D = 180 miles

John has traveled 180 miles for 3 hours.

Since his total destination is 240 miles

To calculate how much farther he needs to drive

Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance traveled in 3 hours

Remaining distance = 240 - 180

= 60 miles

John needs to travel 60 miles further before he can reach his final destination.
