Answer:

480 miles

Explanation:

Well, firstly - no idea, as cars can go slower or faster and there is no indication that this particular car would maintain the exact same avg. speed over 12 hours.

There is no way to solve this otherwise though, so we'll assume the car's speed is constant.

280mi / 7h = 40mph

40mph * 12h = 480mi
