Question

Can someone help me with this question?

Answer 1

Answer:
`\bold{(A)\ \frac{\text{51 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}}`

Explanation:

Consider the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time(t)" and solve for r.

d = r · t

÷ t ÷ t

`(d)/(t)=r`

Now plug in the given d and t values from the table to solve for r:

`r=\frac{\text{204 miles}}{\text{4 hours}}`

`=\frac{\text{51 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}` simplified the fraction

You can check this by plugging in the other 3 values from the table:

`r=\frac{\text{306 miles}}{\text{6 hours}}`

`=\frac{\text{51 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}`

`r=\frac{\text{408 miles}}{\text{8 hours}}`

`=\frac{\text{51 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}`

`r=\frac{\text{510 miles}}{\text{10 hours}}`

`=\frac{\text{51 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}`
