The average rate of change of an object is given by the formula r= d/t, where r is the rate of change, d is the distance travelled, and t is the time it took to travel the given distance. We often use some form of this formula when we are trying to calculate how long a trip may take. If our destination is 225 miles away and we can average 75 mph, then we should arrive in 3 hours ( 225 mile/ 75 mph = 3 hours). In this case you would be rearranging the formula so that t= d/r. However, if your mother finds fout that the trip only took 2 1/2 hours, she will be upset. use the rate of formula to explain why
If we use the rate formula we find that to go 225 miles in 2.5 hours you would have to travel an average of 90mph, well over most speed limits.
be clear @twvogels
I gave you the entire answer to the question in a complete sentence. That's about as clear as you can get.
how did u get 90mph
Use the rate equation that you are given (r=d/t) and substitute in the known values. Then you can solve for the rate by simple division.
can u do it
We are told that the rate equation is \[r=\frac{d}{t}\]We know that the total distance is 225miles and the time is 2.5hours. To solve we substitute the known values into the equation and solve: \[r=\frac{d}{t}\]\[r=\frac{225miles}{2\frac{1}{2}hours}\]\[r=90\frac{miles}{hour}\]
