To find out how far the trucker will drive in 7 hours, we first need to determine the rate at which the trucker is driving. We can do this by looking at the increase in distance for each 2-hour interval.
120 miles / 2 hours = 60 miles per hour
240 miles / 4 hours = 60 miles per hour
360 miles / 6 hours = 60 miles per hour
Since the trucker is driving at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour, we can calculate the distance the trucker will drive in 7 hours:
60 miles per hour x 7 hours = 420 miles
Therefore, the trucker will drive 420 miles in 7 hours. The correct answer is 420 miles.
