Answer:

200 miles

Explanation:

First have to find how many miles he drives in 1 hour. So, we divide 120 miles by 3 hours, since we assume that he managed to drive an equal amount in each hour.

120/3=40

This shows that Mr. Sanchez drove at a rate of 40 mph.

But, this isn't the answer. 40 miles is the distance for one hour of driving. To find the distance for 5 hours, we have to multiply the distance by 5 as well.

40 times 5=200

Answer~

O 200 miles

Explination~

  • first you start by dividing 120 by 3 to find out how many miles he drives in one hour

120 ÷ 3

=

40

  • Then you would time 40 by 5 to get how many miles he can drive in 5 hours

40 × 5

=

200
