Answer 1

After 3 hours, you will be on 450 mile marker.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: At start, the number in the mile marker is 100

step 2: After 4 hours, the number in the mile marker is 300

step 3: The difference of 300-100= 200. In 4 hours you crossed 200 mile markers.

For 3 hours, the number of mile markers crossed= 3*50= 150 mile markers.

step 5: After 3 hours, the number in the mile marker will be= 300+150= 450
