Question

Marcia is traveling with her family in the car. If they traveled 240 miles in 4 hours, at what rate, or speed were they traveling? Use the formula d ÷ t, where d represents the distance and t represents the time.

80 miles per hour
236 miles per hour
40 miles per hour
60 miles per hour

Answer 1

60 miles per hour

Explanation:

In order to find the rate at which Marcia's family's' car is travelling, you would simply divide the total miles, which would be 240 or "d," by the time, which would be 4 hours or "t."

• 
  `(240)/(4)` = 60

So, Marcia's family's car is travelling at 60 miles per hour.

Hope this helps :)
