Alvarado · Answer 1

8.8 miles

To find this answer first add together the total number of hours the driver drove to get the sum (12 + 3 = 15). Next divide the overall distance that the driver reached which was 132 by the overall number of hours driven which was 15 to get the speed that the driver drove in all (132/15 = 8.8). In the end, remember to label the answer, in this case, 8.8 miles.
