To determine how long the Virginia family will drive in total, we can break the journey down into two parts: the first part of the journey before stopping at the hotel, and the second part after the hotel.
1. **First Part: Driving for 3 Hours**
- Distance traveled in 3 hours = speed × time
- Distance = 64 miles/hour × 3 hours = 192 miles
2. **Second Part: Remaining Distance**
- Total distance to the resort = 544 miles
- Distance remaining after 3 hours = 544 miles - 192 miles = 352 miles
3. **Second Part: Time to Complete the Remaining Distance**
- Time = distance/speed
- Time = 352 miles / 64 miles/hour = 5.5 hours
4. **Total Driving Time**
- Total driving time = first part + second part
- Total driving time = 3 hours + 5.5 hours = 8.5 hours
So, the family will drive a total of **8.5 hours**.

So, the family will drive a total of **8.5 hours**.
