Use the table, graph, or equation to predict how far the car would travel if it drove for 10 hours instead of 8.

To predict how far the car would travel if it drove for 10 hours instead of 8, we first need to know how fast the car is traveling. Let's assume it is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour (mph).
We can use the equation:
distance = rate x time
To find the distance the car travels in 8 hours:
distance = 60 mph x 8 hours = 480 miles
To find the distance the car would travel in 10 hours:
distance = 60 mph x 10 hours = 600 miles
Therefore, if the car drove for 10 hours instead of 8, it would travel 600 miles.
We can use the equation:
distance = rate x time
To find the distance the car travels in 8 hours:
distance = 60 mph x 8 hours = 480 miles
To find the distance the car would travel in 10 hours:
distance = 60 mph x 10 hours = 600 miles
Therefore, if the car drove for 10 hours instead of 8, it would travel 600 miles.
(10/8) * original distance
by the way 10/8 is 5/4
so you can just add 1/4 of the original distance

480/4 = 120
480 + 120 = 600 :)
480 + 120 = 600 :)
