Question

Relationships between quantities in equations

A train will travel 300 kilometers at a constant rate.
1. Write an equation that represents the train's rate in kilometers per hour (r) based on how many hours
the trip takes (t).
2. What is the train's rate if the trip takes 1.5 hours?
kilometers per hours?

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

1. r = 300/t

2. r = 300/1.5

= 200 kilometres per hour
