Amelia is traveling from Los Angeles, California, to Mesa, Arizona. The total distance she will drive is 388 miles. Amelia would like to get to Mesa in approximately 7 hours. She is wondering at what speed she will have to travel in order to make that happen. Using the formula d=vt

To find the speed \( v \) that Amelia needs to travel in order to cover the distance \( d \) in the time \( t \), you can start with the formula:
\[ d = vt \]
To rearrange this formula to solve for \( v \), divide both sides by \( t \):
\[ v = \frac{d}{t} \]
Now, \( v \) is highlighted as the quantity of interest, and it represents the speed Amelia needs to travel.
