Answer 1

To find out how many miles Shondra traveled in 4 hours, we can observe the pattern in the table.

From the table, we see that:
- In 1 hour, Shondra drove 60 miles.
- In 2 hours, she drove 120 miles.
- In 3 hours, she drove 180 miles.

We can see that for every additional hour, she drives an additional 60 miles. This indicates a constant speed.

To calculate the miles driven in 4 hours, we can continue the pattern:
- For 4 hours:
- Miles = 60 miles/hour * 4 hours = 240 miles.

So, in 4 hours, Shondra drove **240 miles**.

The answer is **240**.
