Answer:


r=4.38

Explanation:

Step 1: Arrange the equation so that you are calculating rate (divide both sides by t)


(d)/(t) = (rt)/(t)


t cancels out on the right side.

Step 2: Substitute in the numerals


r=(d)/(t)


r=(5.7)/(1.3)

Step 3: Divide


r=4.38
mph

There's your answer!

Hope this helps you!
