(1 pt) which should be calculated first to solve this story problem? a bus driver drove a bus 43.9 miles per hour for 5 hours on monday. he drove 47.5 miles per hour for 3 hours on tuesday. how far did the bus driver drive altogether?

Monday: 43.9 miles per hour. 5 hours.
Tuesday: 47.5 miles per hour. 3 hours.

We need to multiply each unit rate by the number of hours traveled per day.

Monday: 43.9 mph * 5 hours = 219.50 miles
Tuesday: 47.5mph * 3 hours = 142.50 miles

Total number of miles: 219.50 miles + 142.50 miles = 362 miles.
