Question

Max travels to see his brothers family by car he drives 216 miles in 4 hours what is his rate in miles per hour? Use a double number line to show your work.

Answer 1

The rate of the car is
`S = 54 (mi)/(hr)`

Explanation:

Distance traveled = 216 miles

Time taken = 4 hours

We know that speed of any object who travels a distance D in time T hours is given by the formula

⇒
`S = (D)/(T)`

⇒ Put the values of D & T in the above formula

`S = (216)/(4)`

`S = 54 (mi)/(hr)`

Therefore the rate of the car is
`S = 54 (mi)/(hr)`
