false

false

true

the person above is correct :)

Answer 2

False

False

True

Explanation:

Knowing that they are traveling 60 miles per hour, 60h is equivalent to how many miles they are traveling. When adding 300 you know that would be the a1 term going along the rules of sequences.

Therefore 60h is the rate of increase.

300 is the miles traveled on the first day.

With this information in mind we can now answer the True and false statements.

1. 5 represents the hours they drove on the first day, therefore 1 is a false statement.

2. 60 represents the mph they are traveling on the second day, therefore 2 is a false statement.

3. 300 represents the miles they traveled on the first day, therefore 3 is a true statement.
