Answer 1

The car travels 40 miles per hour. In 8hrs, the car will have droven 320 miles. In one hour the car will have have driven 40 miles. Explanation:

Excuse me, but I believe this is a unit rate, so the first thing I did was was divide 120 by 3 to get the answer 40 for A. Then, since I knew that the car goes 40 miles per hour, I multiplied that by 8 to get 320 for B.
