            The answer of 336 miles by @josgarithmetic is ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT.

            It is incorrect,  because on the way @josgarithmetic made arithmetic errors in his post.

            See my correct solution and correct answer below. 


The distance is the average speed multiplied by average time, which is 5 hours 45 minutes = 53%2F4 hours = 23%2F4 hours


    distance = 64 . 23%2F4 miles = %2864%2A23%29%2F4 = 16*23 = 368 miles.
