Question

Curtis decided to go on a road trip to Canada. On the first day of his trip, he drove for 13 hours and traveled 884 miles. At what rate did he travel on the first day, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

distance = rate * time

substitute in

884 miles = rate * 13 hours

divide each side by 13 hours

884 miles/ 13 hours = rate

68 miles per hour = rate

Answer 2

Miles per hour

884 per 13 hours

884/13 = 68 miles per hour
