To determine how far the car can travel in 5 hours, you start by recognizing the car's speed, which is 60 miles per hour. To find the total distance covered over a specific time, you can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

In this case, the speed is 60 miles per hour, and the time is 5 hours. Applying the values to the equation gives:

Distance = 60 miles/hour × 5 hours

Calculating this yields:

Distance = 300 miles

This shows that the car can travel 300 miles in 5 hours, making it the correct answer.

The other choices reflect either incorrect calculations or misunderstandings of distance covered at a constant speed. By focusing on the multiplication of speed by time, it is clear why 300 miles is the accurate result.
