Question

A jet travels 530 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 13 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet?

Answer 1

distance = rate x time

 

rate = (530 miles) / (2 hours)

 

time = 13 hours

 

distance = (530 / 2)(13) miles = ? miles

 

The speed of the jet IS the rate.
