Answer:

80 miles

Explanation:

15 minutes = 1/4 hour

distance = speed * time

d = 320 * 1/4

d = 80 miles

80 miles. Step-by-step explanation: If it is traveling at 320 miles per hour, and its asking how much its traveled in 15 minutes you do this: Since 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, you take 1/4 of how fast they are traveling at mph, which in this case is 320 mph
