Question

A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would make it easy to find the rate at which the car was traveling in miles per hour r, if it traveled for t hours

Answers

  1. Answer:

    A. Distance travelled at constant rate = 180 miles

    Rate of travel (r) = distance travelled (d) /time (t)

    Travel time (hrs) ==> rate of travel (miles/hr)

    5 ==> 180/5 = 36

    4.5 ==> 180/4.5 = 40

    3 ==> 180/3 = 60

    2.25 ==> 180/2.25 = 80

    B. t = time travelled in hrs,

    r = rate (miles/hr)

    d = distance travelled = 180
