To find the total time Kayleen's family was on the road, we need to calculate the time taken for each day and add them together.

First, let's calculate the time taken on the first day:
Distance traveled on the first day = 520 miles
Speed = 60 miles per hour

Using the formula: Time = Distance / Speed
Time taken on the first day = 520 miles / 60 miles per hour
Time taken on the first day = 8.67 hours (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, let's calculate the time taken on the second day:
Distance traveled on the second day = 380 miles
Speed = 60 miles per hour

Time taken on the second day = 380 miles / 60 miles per hour
Time taken on the second day = 6.33 hours (rounded to two decimal places)

Finally, to find the total time, we add the time taken on the first day and the second day:
Total time = Time taken on the first day + Time taken on the second day
Total time = 8.67 hours + 6.33 hours
Total time = 15 hours (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Kayleen's family was on the road for approximately 15 hours.
