Question

A blimp travel 300 miles in 7.5 hours. Assume the blimp travel at a constant speed. Write and solve an equation to find the speed of the blimp. Use the formula d= rt.

Answer 1

Well um, I don't know what the d = rt formula is but I know one that would work well with this problem.

Formula for speed = Distance / time

So we have 300 miles as our distance and 7.5 hours as our time.

Then we divide ---> 300/7.5

And that gives us...

40 mph
