It took Aaron 4 hours to drive 232 miles. Use the equation below to determine what his average rate of speed was.
D = r x t
D = distance, r = rate of speed, t = time
232 = r * 4
Divide both sides by 4
232/4 = r
232mi/4hr = (232/4)(mi/hr) = 58mi/hr
or, using your formula
232 = r*4
and the division proceeds from that
thank you
Isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. How far is he from his starting point?
To determine Aaron's average rate of speed, we can use the equation:
D = r x t
In this case, the distance (D) is 232 miles and the time (t) is 4 hours.
So, we can substitute these values into the equation:
232 = r x 4
Now, we can solve for the rate of speed (r):
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
232/4 = r
58 = r
Therefore, Aaron's average rate of speed was 58 miles per hour.
