      Six hours before noon and 8 hours after.




c)  Calculate their average speed( 1 decimal place)

        Then divide miles by your time value from the question b).  Do it on your own.



d)  How far could they have travelled at the speed in question c if they only drove for the original 10 hours planned? ( answer to nearest km)
