BALLOONING Whatis the rate, in miles per hour, of a balloon that travels 60 miles in 4 hours?

Answer 1

15 miles per hour !!!!!!!!

Answer 2

15 m/h

Explanation:

The rate of a balloon is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the rate is given by:

`\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]`

Substitute the given values:

`\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{60\ \text{miles}}{4\ \text{hours}} \]`

Simplify the expression:

`\[ \text{Rate} = 15\ \text{miles per hour} \]`

Therefore, the rate of the balloon is 15 miles per hour.
