Answer:
r =5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
rt = d
We want to solve for r
Divide each side by t
rt/t = d/t
r = d/t
We know the distance is 7.5 miles and the time is 1.5 hours
r = 7.5 miles / 1/5 hours
The rate is 5 miles per hour
First thing off we need to get r alone. We can do this by dividing both sides by t. Lets do so
rt/t=d/t
Simplfy
r=d/t
Now input the known value for d and t
r=7.5/1.5
Divide
r=5
