Caleb drives for 3 hours at 15 miles per hour. How far does he travel?

Question

What is the unit rate?

Answer 1

To find out how far Caleb travels, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

Given that Caleb drives at a speed of 15 miles per hour for 3 hours, you can calculate the distance as follows:

\[ \text{Distance} = 15 , \text{miles per hour} \times 3 , \text{hours} = 45 , \text{miles} \]

Caleb travels 45 miles.

The unit rate, which in this case is the speed at which Caleb is traveling, is 15 miles per hour.
