Answer :

The speed is the distance covered by an object at a particular time. The distance that is covered by the vehicle is 3,391 miles.

What is speed?

The speed is the distance covered by an object at a particular time. Therefore, it is the ratio of distance and time.

Speed = Distance / Time

Given that the journey took 9 days. Therefore, the time in hours will be equal to,

Time = 24 hours/day × Number of days

        = 24× 9

        = 216 hours

Also, given that the speed of the vehicle is 15.7 miles per hour, the number of hours for which it travels is 216 hours.

Distance = Speed × Time

              = 15.7 miles/hour × 216 hours

              = 3,391.2 miles

Hence, the distance that is covered by the vehicle is 3,391 miles.
