Turn the problem into an equation and solve.
If a car travels at rate of 74 miles per hour how long will it take the car to travel 481 miles
The speed is 74 miles per hour and the distance is 481 miles.
D=RT
D= distance
R= Rate (speed)
T= time
Now substitute:
481=74T
481/74=74T/74 (since 74T is multiplication, to undo, do the opposite/division to both sides)
6.5 = T
It took 6.5 hours to travel 481 miles.
