Question

Travis traveled 315 miles in 5 hours. what is his unit rate of speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

He was traveling 63 mph
divide 315 by 5 and you get 63
check your answer by multiplying his speed (63mph) by 5 (number of hours)

Answer 2

unit rate of speed is 63 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We have been given that Travis traveled 315 miles in 5 hours.

We know the relation,

`speed=(distance)/(time)`

Now, we have

distance = 315 miles

time = 5 hours

Hence, the speed, v is given by

`v=(315)/(5)`

When we simplify it, we'll get the unit rate of speed

`v=63`

Therefore, unit rate of speed is 63 miles per hour.
