Question

During a big race, Danika races her car at a rate of 125 miles per hour for 4 hours. What is the distance of the race? Evaluate the distance formula, d=rt, to solve the problem.

d=(125)(4)
= _ mi

We multiplied miles per hour by hours, so hours cancel and we are left with miles.
mi/hr x hr = mi
The distance was 500 _.

Distance = _/d=rt time

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we use the distance formula \( d = rt \).

Given:

• Rate (r) = 125 miles per hour
• Time (t) = 4 hours

Now, we can calculate the distance (d): \[ d = (125)(4) = 500 \text{ mi} \]

So, we fill in the blanks as follows:

d = (125)(4)
= 500 mi

We multiplied miles per hour by hours, so hours cancel, and we are left with miles.
mi/hr x hr = mi
The distance was 500 miles.

Distance = d/d=rt time
