Answer 1

260 miles

Explanation:

Sara made it to her destination in four hours, while Holly made it to her destination traveling 260 miles. This can be calculated by taking Sara's 200 miles, and dividing it by 50 mph to get a total of four hours spent driving. If Holly is also driving for four hours, but instead traveling at 65 mph, you can take 65 and multiply it by four hours to get a total of 260 miles. Hope this helps!
