I have a few :)

Use d = rt pls (Distance = rate (speed) x time

1. On a school field trip, the bus travels 23 miles in 30 minutes. Find the speed of the bus in miles per hour. Use the equation d = rt, where d is distance, r is rate (speed), and t is time.

2. One lap of a high-speed automobile race is 2.60 miles. A driver completes 35 laps traveling at 182 miles per hour.
a) Explain how you can use the equation d = rt to find the time it takes to complete 35 laps.

b) How long does it take to complete 35 laps?
a. 2 hours
b. 0.5 hour
c. 1 hour
d. 0.25 hour

3. Error Analysis At soccer training, the team ran for 30 minutes at 6 miles per hour. Your friend says that the team ran a distance of 180 miles.
a) What is the correct distance?

b) What error did your friend most likely make?
a. Your friend divided the rate by the time.
b. Your friend did not rewrite the rate in terms of miles per hour.
c. Your friend divided the time by the rate.
d. Your friend did not rewrite the time in terms of hours.

4. Two Cyclists start at the same place. The first travels east at 20 miles per hour. The second travels west. They are 22 miles apart in 30 minutes. How fast is the second cyclist going?

Tysm!

1. 30/23, do the math, if you cant do simple math, use a calculator

2a. 2.60 x 35 = distance of the laps together
t = d/s
t = distance of the laps ÷ 182m/h

2b. You have the info, do it urself

3a. 30 x 6. Not that hard, giving you hints here

3b. Look at the answer at 3a, now look at what your friend wrote. Clearly he/she listened to some dumb person on brainy

4. s = d/t
s = 22/30. Again, use a calculator

I did basically all the work for you. Just get up your lazy butt to get a calculator. Not that hard! I probably am smaller and younger than you!

I better get brainilest for this...

You're welcome :)
