You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Take the lower end of each estimate -- 50 miles for 4 hours to get 200 miles
Take the upper end of each estimate -- 60 miles for 7 hours to get 430 miles
All of these values fit except the first one.
What's the middle value?
55 miles for 5.5 hours = 302.5 miles
Which is closest to that value?
