I need help on a math question. The question ask, "Ebony walked at a rate of 3 1/2 miles per hour for 1 1/3 hours. How far did she walk?"

OpenStudy (mertsj):

d = rate multiplied by time

I'm sorry I don't really understand what you mean. May you please explain?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know what multiply means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know that the question asks for the distance when it says "how far"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so what order of operation do I use? Multiplication?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

d = rate multiplied by time

OpenStudy (mertsj):

To find the distance multiply rate by time. What is the rate in this problem?
