Mary flew her plane 216 miles in 48 minutes. What was Mary's rate of speed? @Shay17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

216/48 = ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Rate = speed = (distance traveled) / (time elapsed) Try evaluating this using the data given. Be sure to use the proper units of measurement.

I got 4.5 @Shay17

OpenStudy (mathmale):
