Question

A car travels at a constant speed. What is the car's speed between checkpoints, expressed as a unit rate? Use the information given in the picture.

Answer 1

44 mph

208-120= 88
88/2 = 44

Answer 2

The unit rate is 44 miles per hour.

Explanation:

The difference between both the checkpoints is given by:

`208-120=88` miles driven

Time taken to travel 88 miles =
`3-1=2` hours

As the car travels at a constant speed, so we get 88 miles driven in 2 hours.

Hence, per hour distance covered is =
`(88)/(2)=44` miles per hour.
