Question

38. BLIMP A blimp travels 300 miles in

7.5 hours. Assuming the blimp travels
at a constant speed, write and solve an
equation to find the speed of the blimp.
Use the formula d = rt.

Answer 1

r = 40mph

Explanation:

d = rt where....

distance=(speed)(time)

distance/(time)=speed

300/7.5 = r

therefor, r=speed= miles/hour = 40

r = 40mph

Answer 2

40

Explanation:

d=rt

300=r(7.5)

300÷7.5=r

40=r
