Question

A. 45,000 miles per hour
B. 4,500 miles per hour
C. 45 miles per hour
D. 450 miles per hour

Answer 1

The unit rate in miles per hour can be found by dividing the total distance (22,500 miles) by the total time (5 hours).

22,500 miles / 5 hours = <<22500/5=4500>>4500 miles per hour

The correct answer is B. 4,500 miles per hour.
