They had 10 hours to tavel. Firstly, they travelled 100 kilometers in 7 hours. And they travelled 30 kilometres in 3 hours.

In order to find total distance they tavelled, we add both travelled distances.

100 + 30 = 130

So, totally, they travelled 130 kilometres in 10 hours.

Result: 130 kilometres.
