Question

6. Model Real Life A truck driver travels 2,580 miles in 40 hours and travels the same number of miles each hour. How many miles does the truck driver travel each hour?

______miles

Answer 1

Answer: 64.5

Work Shown:

distance = rate*time

rate = distance/time

rate = (2580 miles)/(40 hours)

rate = (2580/40) mph

rate = 64.5 mph

The truck's speed is 64.5 mph, which means it travels 64.5 miles for each hour.
