Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

They are going in opposite directions. That means you add the distances.

Total Distance = Maria_d + Ming_d

Ming

d = ?

r = 48 mph

t = 3 hour

d = r * t

d = 48 * 3

d = 144 miles

Maria

d = ?

r = 54 miles / hour

t = 3 hours

d = r * t

d = 54 * 3

d = 162

Total distance

Total = 162 + 144

Total = 306 miles
