To find Sharon's average rate of speed, divide the total distance she drove by the time it took her to drive that distance.
1. Distance: Sharon drove 188.3 miles.
2. Time: She drove for 3 1/2 hours, which is equivalent to 3.5 hours.
To find Sharon's average rate of speed:
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = 188.3 miles / 3.5 hours
Average speed ≈ 53.8 miles per hour
Therefore, Sharon's average rate of speed was approximately 53.8 miles per hour.
To find Kat's rate of pay, divide the total amount she earned by the number of hours she worked.
1. Total earnings: Kat earned $126.50.
2. Hours worked: She worked for 23 hours.
To find Kat's rate of pay:
Rate of pay = Total earnings / Hours worked
Rate of pay = $126.50 / 23 hours
Rate of pay ≈ $5.50 per hour
Therefore, Kat's rate of pay was approximately $5.50 per hour.
