Question

A man drove his car for 260 miles in 4 hours keeping this rate how miles will he drive in 8 hours

Answer 1

Divide 260 miles by 4 hours to find his rate.

 

Rate = 65 miles per hour

 

This means for each hour, the man drives 65 miles.

 

 

Then use this rate to find his distance in 8 hours.

 

 

Distance in 8 hours = 65 miles × 8

Answer 2

260 miles in 4 hours was the given rate.

 

To figure out how many miles in 8 hours which is double (or 2 x's) the given 4 hours would allow you to say:

 

260 miles x 2 = 520 miles

Answer 3

d =rt

260 = r(4)

r = 65

 

d = 65(8)

d = 520
