Can someone help me set up the formula? d=rt (d=the distance, r=the average speed, and t=the elaspsed time) A missile travels at the rate of 6,000 mi/hr. Find the distance if it were to travel 15 minutes.

Question

anonymous · Answer

d=rt, d= (6,000mi/hr) (15 min)

anonymous · Answer

So 6,000=r15? So I solve for r? @livethelifewelove

anonymous · Answer

no you solve for d, because it is asking for the distance

anonymous · Answer

What's r then?

anonymous · Answer

so you multiple 6,000mi/hr X 15

anonymous · Answer

you said r was the average speed and they gave that to you when they say 6,000 mi/hr

anonymous · Answer

Oh, okay. Thank you!

anonymous · Answer

But I end up with too large of a number...

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean by 'too large of a number' is this multiple choice?

anonymous · Answer

@livethelifewelove

anonymous · Answer

the number should be large because you have a large number for mi/hr
