Answer 1

Before lunch, they drove at a constant rate of 55 miles per hour for 3 hours -> They drove a total of 55 x 3 = 165 miles.

After lunch, they drove at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour for 2 hours -> They drove a total of 45 x 2 = 90 miles.

So, the total amount of miles the Ramos family drove is 165 + 90 = 255 miles.

Answer 2

Before lunch, they drove at a constant rate of 55 miles per hour for 3 hours.

$\longrightarrow \tt{55*3=165}$

After lunch, they drove at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour for 2 hours.

$\longrightarrow \tt{45*2=90}$

Total miles the Ramos family drive

$\longrightarrow \tt{165+90=255}$

$answer : \pink{255} \: \tt{miles}$
