To find the distances that Jordyn drives after 3, 6, and 8 hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, we can use the formula \( d = 50t \), where \( d \) is distance and \( t \) is time in hours.

Now, we can calculate the distances for the given times:

  1. For 3 hours: \[ d = 50 \times 3 = 150 \text{ miles} \]

  2. For 6 hours: \[ d = 50 \times 6 = 300 \text{ miles} \]

  3. For 8 hours: \[ d = 50 \times 8 = 400 \text{ miles} \]

Now we can fill in the table:

| Time in hours, t | Distance in miles, d | |-------------------|----------------------| | 3 | 150 | | 6 | 300 | | 8 | 400 |

So, the completed table is:

  • For 3 hours, the distance is 150 miles.
  • For 6 hours, the distance is 300 miles.
  • For 8 hours, the distance is 400 miles.
