Darius took a road trip to their grandmother's house. They drove at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour for 2 hours. They took a break and then finished the rest of their trip driving at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour for 2 hours. What was the total distance, in miles, of Darius' trip?

Answer: 220 miles

Explanation:

Distance travelled is calculated as:

= Speed × Time

Based on the scenario on the question, the total distance, in miles, of Darius' trip will be:

= (60 × 2) + (50 × 2)

= 120 + 100

= 220 miles
