Using the formula r = d/t, we can rearrange the equation to find the rate (r).

r = d/t

r = 212.5 miles / 2.5 hours

r = 85 mph

Therefore, you must travel at a rate of 85 mph to cover 212.5 miles in 2.5 hours.

To find the rate at which you must travel to cover 212.5 miles in 2.5 hours, you can use the formula r = d/t.

Given:
d = 212.5 miles
t = 2.5 hours

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
r = 212.5 miles / 2.5 hours

Calculating the division, we find:
r = 85 mph

Therefore, you must travel at a rate of 85 mph to cover 212.5 miles in 2.5 hours.
