Answer 1

The speed can be described as:

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

then, if want to find the distance we can say that,

$speed\times time=distance$

if the driver has an average speed and a time limit,

$\frac{58miles}{hour}\times7.5hour=435miles$

Answer:

we can say that the driver can travel a maximum of 435 miles per day at an average speed of 58 miles per hour.
