Answer: 30 miles

Explanation:

We are given a constant rate of 210 miles in 7 hours. Since we are trying to find how far Carter travelled in 1 hour, we can set up a proportion.


(210)/(7) =(x )/(1) [cross multiply]


210=7x [divide both sides by 7]


x=30

Therefore, Carter travelled 30 miles in one hour.
