Answer:

The correct equation you're looking for is the first choice:
(240 miles)/(5 hours) = 48 miles per hour.

Explanation:

The formula to show the relationship between rate, time, and distance is
rt=d, where
r represents the rate of change,
t represents time, and
d represents the total distance. Since you are given the distance and time, and are looking for the rate of change, then you need to divide the total distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance, so the correct equation is
(240miles)/(5hours) = 48 miles per hour.

Have a great day! Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions :)
