Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, I'll ask and answer possible questions that emanate from the given parameter.

A possible question is: Write the given information as a function of distance.

We have that;


Base\ Distance = 200


Time = t


Rate = r

The function would be calculated as:

Base Distance + Rate * Time

Substitute values for Base Distance, Rate and Time

This gives:


200 + r * t


200 + rt

Hence;


Distance = 200 + rt

Another possible question is to determine the current distance travelled by the family at a rate of 80 miles per hour for 3 hours.

Here, we have:


r = 80


t = 3

Substitute these values in
Function = 200 + rt


Distance = 200 + 80 * 3


Distance = 200 + 240


Distance = 440
