Question

using d=rt , where d=distance r=rate and t=time how fast is a jogger moving if she travels 5.7 miles in 1.3 hours? to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`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!
