It took Sandra 5 hours to drive to her father's house and back. She lives 120 miles from the city where he father lives. What was her rate per hour driving for the trip?
Is it 48 miles per hour?
YOU SUCK
To find Sandra's rate per hour driving for the trip, divide the total distance she traveled by the total time it took her.
The total distance Sandra traveled is the round trip distance from her house to her father's house and back, which is 120 miles each way or 240 miles in total.
The total time it took Sandra is given as 5 hours.
To calculate the rate per hour, divide the total distance by the total time:
240 miles / 5 hours = 48 miles/hour
So, yes, the rate per hour driving for the trip is 48 miles per hour.
