Question

Travis traveled 315 miles in 5 hours. what is his unit rate of speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

unit rate of speed is 63 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Travis traveled 315 miles in 5 hours.

We know the relation,

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Now, we have

distance = 315 miles

time = 5 hours

Hence, the speed, v is given by

$v=\frac{315}{5}$

When we simplify it, we'll get the unit rate of speed

$v=63$

Therefore,  unit rate of speed is 63 miles per hour.

Answer 2

He was traveling 63 mph
divide 315 by 5 and you get 63
check your answer by multiplying his speed (63mph) by 5 (number of hours)
