Question

the formula d=rt gives the distance traveled for a rate r and an amount of time t a car travels at a rate of 75 miles per hour for 5 hours what distance did the car travel

Answer 1

rate = 75 miles/hour

time = 5 hours

d = rt

d=(75)(5) = 375 miles

Answer 2

You are given a rate (75) and a time (5) and need to find the distance.

Plug in what you know into the formula d=rt

Which gives d=(75)(5)

75 X 5 = 375

Therefore, your answer is the car traveled 375 miles
