Question

824 yards, 8 hours. find the rate as a ratio of distance to time, then simplify answer

Answer 1

\[\frac{824}{8}=103 \text{ yds}/\text{hr} \]

Answer 2

thanks!!! but how do i solve it written out?

Answer 3

ratio of distance to time means write down 824 yds over 8 hours
824 yds/ 8 hours

if you divide both top and bottom by 8 you get
103/1 yds/hr
which is just 103 yds/hr

Answer 4

if you did not know 8 goes into 824 you could divide both by 2 and get
412/4
and then divide both top and bottom by 2 again:
206/2
and again!
103/1
or just 103 yds/hour
