To find the total distance that Kyle traveled, we can split the journey into two parts and calculate the distance for each part separately, then add them together.

  1. For the first part of the trip:

    • Speed = 45 miles per hour
    • Time = 1.5 hours
    • Distance = Speed × Time = 45 miles/hour × 1.5 hours = 67.5 miles
  2. For the second part of the trip:

    • Speed = 50 miles per hour
    • Time = 2.5 hours
    • Distance = Speed × Time = 50 miles/hour × 2.5 hours = 125 miles

Now, we add the distances from both parts of the trip:

Total Distance = Distance of First Part + Distance of Second Part
Total Distance = 67.5 miles + 125 miles = 192.5 miles

Therefore, the total distance that Kyle traveled is 192.5 miles.
