Question

Sharon drove 270 miles in 4.5 hours. If she drove at a constant rate, how fast was Sharon driving?

Answer 1

Sharon was driving 60 miles per hour.

Explanation:

To solve this you must divide both the amount of miles (270) and the amount of hours (4.5) by the amount of hours so that way you can see how many miles per hour you are going.

4.5 / 4.5 = 1

270 / 4.5 = 60

This means that Sharon was driving 60 miles per hour.
