Speed of Kris is, Speed = 75 mph

Time spent while taking a break is 2 hours.

So, time Kris drove his vehicle is given as the difference of total time and time spent in break. Therefore,

Actual time of driving = 14 - 2 = 12 hours.

Now, distance traveled is given as the product of speed and time of driving.

∴ Distance = Speed
`*` Time

Distance =
