two kids paddled 6 miles up stream for 4 hours. the return trip took 3 hours. what is the rate they where traveling? i need help now!!!
Use the formula d=r*t the distance is 6 miles the rate is not decided and the 3hours is the time. plug those numbers in. that makes it 6=3r divide both sides by 3 to get the variable alone. did that help?
yes thanks
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Now, let's solve the equation to find the rate at which the kids were traveling.
The equation we have is: 6 = 3r
To solve for r, we need to isolate the variable r. Let's divide both sides of the equation by 3:
6/3 = 3r/3
Simplifying the equation:
2 = r
Therefore, the rate at which the kids were traveling is 2 miles per hour.
