    The total distance traveled was 176.9 mi or 2.846 x 10⁵ m

    Explanation:

    The distance traveled can be calculated as follows:

    distance = speed * time.

    At first, you drive at 66.8 mi/h for 1.70 h. Then, the distance traveled is:

    distance 1 = 66.8 mi/h * 1.70 h = 114 mi

    Then, you come to a stop for 35.3 min, then the distance traveled is 0 during this time.

    At last, you drive at 57.2 mi/h for 1.10 hours. Then, the distance traveled is:

    distance 2 = 57.2 mi/h * 1.10 h = 62.9 mi.

    The total distance traveled was:

    distance 1 + distance 2 = 114 mi + 62.9 mi = 176.9 mi or

    176.9 mi * 1609 m / mi = 2.846 x 10⁵ m
