It took Aaron 4 hours to drive 232 miles. Use the equation below to determine what his average rate of speed was.

Question

D = r x t

D = distance, r = rate of speed, t = time

Answer 1

232 = r * 4

Divide both sides by 4

232/4 = r

Answer 2

232mi/4hr = (232/4)(mi/hr) = 58mi/hr

or, using your formula

232 = r*4
and the division proceeds from that

Answer 3

thank you
