GPT 3.5
To find the total distance covered on the highway, we multiply the average speed (60 mph) by the time spent driving on the highway (3 hours): 60 mph * 3 hours = <<60*3=180>>180 miles.
To find the total distance covered on side roads, we multiply the average speed (40 mph) by the time spent driving on side roads (1 hour): 40 mph * 1 hour = <<40*1=40>>40 miles.
The total distance covered on the road trip is the sum of the distances covered on the highway and side roads: 180 miles + 40 miles = <<180+40=220>>220 miles. Answer: \boxed{220}.
