Ethan wants to run the 26.2 miles in 4.5 hours. At what are will he have to run to reach this goal? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Distance = Rate * Time

Since the question already gives you a distance and time, rearrange the equation so that it is equal to the rate.

To do this, you simply divide the distance by time. Now, plug in your numbers!

Distance / time = 26.2 miles / 4.5 hours = 5.8 miles/hour (the rate)
