Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>No, Marc did not make it on time for dinner.</u>

The time duration between 12:00 and 18:00 is 6 hours.

Total distance that needs to be covered from his house to his mum's house and back = 300 miles x 2 = 600 miles

Time that would be needed to cover 600 miles to his mum's house at an average speed of 45 mph = distance/speed

= 600/45

= 13.33 hours

<em>The required time to cover the distance by Marc is approximately 13.33 hours. If he leaves the house by 12:00, he will definitely not get back 6 hours after. Hence, he could not have made it for dinner.</em>
