Answer:600 miles

Explanation:

Hello!

So you know that 348 miles is equal to 58% so you want to figure out what 1% of the total trip is

348 / 58 = 6

You know that 1% of the trip is 6 miles so now to figure out what the total trip is you multiply 6 by 100

6 * 100 = 600

So you know that the total length of the trip is 600 miles long.
