first get the rate of travel of the first trip (480/7.5) in miles/hr

What? I Dont Understand At All.

anonymous · Answer

Speed (which is what you're trying to calculate) is equal to distance divided by time

So to get the speed for the first one, you do 480/7.5

Do the same for all of the choices and whichever is equal to this, is your answer
