Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
They are going in opposite directions. That means you add the distances.
Total Distance = Maria_d + Ming_d
Ming
d = ?
r = 48 mph
t = 3 hour
d = r * t
d = 48 * 3
d = 144 miles
Maria
d = ?
r = 54 miles / hour
t = 3 hours
d = r * t
d = 54 * 3
d = 162
Total distance
Total = 162 + 144
Total = 306 miles
