Question

Samantha is traveling with her family in the car. If the car is moving at an average speed of 45 miles per hour, how many miles can they travel in 3 hours? Use the formula r · t, where r represents the rate, or speed, and t represents the time.

Answer 1

Ok, so if you are going 45mph, then you are basically going to go 45 miles in one hour. The rate is x miles per hour. The time would be distance per x. Therefore, 45mph represents the rate, and 3 hours represents the time.
