Question

Carter drove 210 miles in 7 hours. If he drove at a constant rate, how far did he travel each hour?

Answer 1

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.
