Question

Shania drove on the interstate for 310 miles without stopping. If she traveled at a constant rate and the trip took her 5 hours, what was her rate in miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

62 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it took her 5 hours to drive 310 miles. You would divide 310 by 5. You would get 62. Because she drove at a constant rate, she did not slow down or go faster. It is 62 mph.

Answer 2

Answer:

62 miles per hour/62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Shania drives at a CONSTANT rate, which means in the 5 hours it took her to drive, each hour she drove the same amount.

So we need to do 310 miles in 5 hours, which is:

310/5

Solving this, we get:

62

The answer is 62 miles per hour.
