a car travels 270 miles in 6 hours. if the car travels a constant rate, how many miles does the car travel in an hour
270 miles / 6 hours
= (270/6) miles/hour
= 45 mph
To find how many miles the car travels in an hour, you need to calculate the car's average speed. Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
In this case, the car travels 270 miles in 6 hours. To find the average speed, you divide the distance of 270 miles by the time of 6 hours:
Average speed (in miles per hour) = Distance / Time
Average speed = 270 miles / 6 hours
To find the answer, you would divide 270 by 6:
Average speed = 45 miles/hour.
Therefore, the car travels at an average speed of 45 miles per hour.
