The truck can cover 96 miles.

Explanation:

Because the car can cover 120 miles going at an average speed of 55 mph and you need to find the distance the truck is covering at a speed of 44 mph, you can set it up like this:
$\frac{120}{55} = \frac{x}{44}$ $120/55 = x/44$
By cross multiplying you get
$5280 = 55 x$ $5280 = 55x$
Divide both sides by 55 and you get
$96 = x$ $96 = x$
The truck can cover 96 miles.
