Question

Someone runs 13.5 miles in 2 hours what the rate

Answer 1

Hi, Bailie!

In this problem, we are given the distance that someone has run and the amount of time that it has taken them to run that distance. If we are looking for the rate at which they were moving, we are looking to find the distance per amount of time that they traveled. In other words, we are looking for their speed, which can be expressed as distance/time.

Rate = Distance/Time

Rate = (13.5 miles) / (2 hours)

Rate = 6.75 miles per hour (miles per hour can be abbreviated to mph if necessary)

I hope this explanation was helpful, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions!

Answer 2

rate = distance/time = (13.5)/2 = 6.75 miles per hour

Answer 3

The rate is expressed as miles per hour (mi/hr) or miles ÷ hrs. So this tells you that you can calculate the rate by doing 13.5 ÷ 2.
