d, the distance in miles
A.multiply 65
B. add 65
C. divide

Answer 1

To find the distance \( d \) that Gabrielle drives in miles based on the time \( t \) she spends driving in hours, you can use the formula:

\[ d = 65t \]

This means that the rule to find \( d \) after knowing \( t \) is to multiply the time \( t \) by 65 (the speed in miles per hour).

So the correct answer from the options you provided is:

A. multiply 65.
