Answer: Danielle drive for 2 hours

Jamal drives for 2 × 3 = 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours that Danielle used in driving to be represented by x.

Since Jamal drives 3 times the hours that Danielle does. This will be:

= 3 × x = 3x

Since Jamal and Danielle drive for a total of 8 hours. This can be formed into a equation as:

x + 3x = 8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Danielle drive for 2 hours

Jamal drives for 2 × 3 = 6 hours
