Memorize these three equations, for a happier, more satisfying life!
Dist = speed * time
d = s * t
Speed = dist/time
s = d/t
Time = dist/speed
t = d/s

Calculate the distance travelled.
:
this is a dist problem (d = s * t)
however, since speed is in km/hr, the time has to be in hrs also
change minutes to hrs: .48/60 = .8 hrs
Now
d = 378 * .8
d = 302.4 km
