Question

Daniel traveled 300 miles in 6 hours. Using the formula d=rt where d is distance, r is rate and t is time, what was Daniel's rate for the trip?

5 miles per hour

50 miles per hour

18 miles per hour

20 miles per hour

Answer 1

try solving for r in the equation, then plug in the numbers

Answer 2

If we plug in the numbers to the variables of d, r, and t, we will get an equation as: 300=r(6).

To solve for 'r' we need to do the inverse of multiplication, which is division. Making the next step as to 300/6=50.

So r=50.

Answer 3

that's right =)

Answer 4

Thanks! I'm really bad at math and I get confused really easily.
I take an online course so it's hard to teach myself things. xD
