Answer 2

Steve has a slow car. In order to find the answer, you have to divide 300 (the amount of miles) by 60 (the amount of time it took). What is 300/60?

Also, I see you're new to open study. When people on here give answers that are useful and helpful, you can say thanks by giving them a medal (hitting "best response"), and maybe fanning them and giving them a testimonial saying how awesome they are. :) Most people just give medals, though

Answer 8

Answer 9

From what I understand, yes, it is. Good job :)

Answer 10

Okay :D but that is still not the answer.. @kohai

Answer 11

Why?

If t=5, (60)(5)=300

Answer 12

The unit rate in the equation is the number of miles driven per hour. The total miles driven, 300, is equal to the number of miles driven per hour multiplied by the number of hours, t, it took to drive.

60t = 300

Therefore, the unit rate is 60 miles per hour. @kohai

Answer 13
