To find the rate at which Curtis traveled, we can use the formula for speed, which is:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 884 miles, and the time is 13 hours. Plugging in those values:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{884 \text{ miles}}{13 \text{ hours}} = 68 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
Therefore, Curtis traveled at a rate of 68 miles per hour on the first day of his trip.
The correct answer is **D. 68 miles per hour**.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
