Answer:

720 miles

Explanation:

We are given a distance and a fraction of the total that it represents. This lets us write the relation ...

252 = 0.35D . . . . . . where D is the total distance traveled

252/0.35 = D = 720 . . . . divide by the coefficient of D

The Hernandez family traveled 720 miles during their vacation.
