    Error Statement: "If Charmaine traveled at an average speed of 54 miles per hour for 14 hours, she traveled 766 miles"

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know D = RT

    Where

    D is distance

    R is rate

    T is time

    We need to check each statement using this formula.

    First Statement Check:

    38 * 18 = 684 (correct)

    Second Statement Check:

    46 * 16 = 736 (correct)

    Third Statement Check:

    54 * 14 = 756 (incorrect)

    Fourth Statement Check:

    68 * 12 = 816 (correct)

    So, we see the 3rd statement is incorrect, this contains an error.
