Using the formula,
[tex]d= v \times t[/tex]
Here, d is distance, v is the velocity and t is time.
Given, [tex]v = 80 \ mile /hour[/tex] and [tex]t = 2.5 \ hour[/tex].
Substituting these values in above formula, we get
[tex]d = 80 \ mile /hour \times 2.5 \ hour = 200 \ miles[/tex]
Thus, the distance traveled by the car is 200 miles
