Question

When as rate, 100 miles in 5 hours would be ????? miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

20 miles per hour (20 mi/h)

Step-by-step explanation:

100 miles/5 hours = 20 miles/ 1 hour

(simplify the proportion)

Consider the following formula s=d/t, with

s being the speed, d as the distance, and t as the time.

this is because miles per hour is a measurement of speed.

In this case, 100 miles is the distance. 5 hours is the time, and we are solving for s.

s = 100/5, s = 20/1, s = 20 which is 20. So the rate or the speed is 20 miles per hour.

Anything multiplied or divided by 1 will remain the same.
