    A.

    58.3 m/h * (3 hours) = 174.9 miles

    Joey drove 174.9 miles in 3 hours.

    B. Since he was driving for 3 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday, the total time he was driving was 7 hours.

    C. Since we already have the number of miles he was driving on Saturday, let us solve for how much he has driven on Sunday:

    52.8 m/h * (4 hours) = 211.2 miles

    Total miles driven = 211.2 miles + 174.9 miles = 386.1 miles
