Question

Using the formula r=d/t, where d is the distance in miles, r is the rate, and t is the time in hours, at which rate must you travel to to cover 337.5 miles in 4.5 hours?

Answer 1

miles is distance. So that gives you d.

hours is time. So that gives you t.

Plug them in.

Answer 2

I literally have dyscalculia so I have no idea

Answer 3

you know r=d/t

you have
d = 337.5
t = 4.5

so \[\large r = \frac{ 337.5 }{ 4.5 }\]

Answer 4

The question I'm answering though is asking for an answer in mph though? How do I translate \[r=\frac{ 337.5 }{ 4.5 }\] into mph?

Answer 5

By working it out.

You are dividing miles by hours. Thus, the units are miles/hour.

Answer 6

\[\large r=\frac{ 337.5 \text{ miles}}{ 4.5 \text{ hours}} = ? \text{ miles/hour }\]
