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

Answer:

The rate of the car is $S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}$

Step-by-step 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

⇒ $S = \frac{D}{T}$

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

$S = \frac{216}{4}$

$S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}$

Therefore the rate of the car is $S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}$
