Answer 2

A car traveling 100 miles in 2 hours has a unit rate of 50 miles per hour.

Solution:

A car is travelling 100 miles in 2 hours.

But we need to find out how many miles it travels in 1 hour.

This is because the question specifies miles per hour which mean the miles travelled by the vehicle every 1 hour.

To find this we need to divide 100 by 2

`(100)/(2) = 50`

This gives the how many miles the car is travelling in 1 hour, that is 50 miles.

Hence the required answer is the car travels 50 miles per hour.
