Answer:
264 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert 3 hours and 40 minutes into hours first.
Recall that 1 hour = 60 minutes.
Therefore 40 minutes = 40/60 hours = 2/3 hours.
The car travelled 3 and 2/3 hours in total.
Recall that distance = speed times time.
The car has travelled 72 x 3 2/3 miles = 264 miles.
