55 miles per hour.

550 : 10

Divide both sides by 10 to get the hours to one hour (for mph).

10 / 10 = 1, so we will proceed to divide 550 by 10 to get 55.

So, the person travels 55 miles per hour - 55:1

Answer: 53

Explanation:

rate * time = distance, or rt=d given, t=10 hours and d= 530 miles, r (10) = 530, or r= 530/10 = 53 miles/hour

Hope this helps ^^
