Question

The morris family drove 368.5 miles in 5.5 hours. Determine their rate of speed

Answer 1

67 mph

Explanation

A method you'd want to remember is r = d/t, or rate equals distance divided by time.

Since the Morris family drove 368.5 miles in 5.5 hours, you'd divide the distance by 5.5.

(368.5/5.5) = 67 miles per hour.

So their average rate is 67 miles per hour.
