No, it is not because IDENTITY means itself, so the answer has to be the same.
First we need to know how many miles per hour they drove the first time. This would be found by division. 168/3.5=48
Then we need to add 5 miles per hour for the average.48+5= 53
Next we need to multiply 2 1/4 by the new miles per hour 53*2.25=119.25
After that we need to know how many miles they drove 119.25+168=287.25 miles.
Finally to get an improper fraction we need to change 287.25 miles to it.
We already have 1/4 for .25 so we multiply 287 by 4 and add it to the 1/4 we already have and it makes it out to be 1149/4
Hope this helps!
