Answer:

Paul has 6.6 miles to go after his snack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of moving. The speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took.

speed= distance/time  , v=d/t

So,from Paul's average speed we can calculate how much distance he has passed after 3 hours.

distance_3h=v*t=13.8 miles per hour * 3 hours

distance_3h=41.4 miles

There are total 48 miles to the beach, so Paul have to go 48miles-distance_3h after his snack, which gives:

48-41.4=6.6 miles
