Answer:

441 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rick traveled [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the way from his parents' house to his college dorm. He has driven 294 miles.

This means that

[tex]\dfrac{2}{3} \text{ of the way is } 294 \text{ miles}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3} \text{ of the way is } 294\div 2=147 \text{ miles}[/tex]

and

[tex]\dfrac{3}{3} \text{ of the way is } 294+147=441 \text{ miles}[/tex]
