Penelope has driven 162.2 miles in 3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed on highway = 55 mph

Time = 2 hours

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 55*2 = 110 miles

Speed on smaller route = 34.8 mph

Time = 1.5 hours

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 34.8 * 1.5 = 52.2 miles

Total distance = Distance on highway + Distance on smaller route

[tex]Total\ distance=110+52.2= 162.2\ miles\\[/tex]

Penelope has driven 162.2 miles in 3.5 hours.
