The following equation represents the total distance (d) that the Benson family has

traveled from their home after traveling 100 miles to pick up their grandparents for a
family vacation, given the time (t) traveled from the grandparents’ home, and driving at
a rate of 45 mph.

Determine how far from their home the Bensons will be after 5 12
hours of driving with their grandparents.

To determine how far from their home the Bensons will be after 5.5 hours of driving with their grandparents, we can plug in t = 5.5 into the equation d = 45t + 100:

d = 45(5.5) + 100
d = 247.5 + 100
d = 347.5

Therefore, the Bensons will be 347.5 miles from their home after 5.5 hours of driving with their grandparents.
