Ali drove 585 miles in 9 hours.
At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 13 hours?

The answer is 845 miles as he’s going 65 mph and you just need to multiply by 13 after finding the unit rate, Hope this helps!

Answer:

845 miles

Explanation:

First let us find the speed ( rate ) using the below formula.


\sf Speed=(Distance \:\:travellled)/(Time\:\:Taken)


\sf Speed=(585 \:miles)/(9 \:h)


\sf Speed=65\:miles\: per\: hour

They also said that, at the same speed he traveled for 13 hours.

So, now we have to find the distance.

For that, you can use the same formula by making the distance as the subject.

Let us find it now.


\sf Distance \:\:travellled=Speed\:*\:Time\:\:Taken\\\\\sf Distance \:\:travellled=65\:*\:13\\\\\sf Distance \:\:travellled=845 \:miles
