Simplifying rates

[efraeya]

How would you go about simplifying 364 miles and 8 hours? Please explain step by step, and don't throw a block of numbers at me, I won't understand it. Thanks! ^_^

Why wouldn't that help?

Attitude Adjustment: When asking for help, receive it. Don't try to suggest what it is that you need. Let professionals tell you what you need and see where it goes. Can you even imagine going into a class and announcing that you aren't going to understand? It makes very little sense if any at all. It IS what you have just done.

Rationality Adjustment: Your question makes no sense. What does "simplify" mean? Are we to add them? That won't work. Are we to change units? You'll have to specify to which units we should convert. What is the EXACT wording of the question?

Usage Adjustment: Rules for use suggest very strongly that you show your own work. You failed to show any. Whoops.

Find r for D = rt

How would you go about simplifying 364 miles and 8 hours? Please explain step by step, and don't throw a block of numbers at me, I won't understand it. Thanks! ^_^

Using D = rt, we need to find r when D = total miles given and t = time (in hours).


Let r = rate or speed in mph


364 = 8r


Divide both sides by 8 to find r.


364/8 = r


45.5 mph = r
