• on tuesday they drove at an average speed of 60 mph for 2 hours.
• on wednesday they drove at an average speed of 35 mph for 2 times as long as on tuesday.

what was the total distance traveled?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Monday's distance

Distance = Speed × Time, so $50 \times 7 = 350$ miles

Step2: Calculate Tuesday's distance

Distance = Speed × Time, so $60 \times 2 = 120$ miles

Step3: Find Wednesday's travel time

Wednesday time = 2 × Tuesday time, so $2 \times 2 = 4$ hours

Step4: Calculate Wednesday's distance

Distance = Speed × Time, so $35 \times 4 = 140$ miles

Step5: Sum all 3 days' distances

Total = Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday, so $350 + 120 + 140 = 610$ miles

Answer:

610 miles
