A train traveling 412.5 miles in 5 1/2 hours. What is the unit rate? And at that rate, how far will the train travel in 8 hours?

Respuesta :

Unit rate is miles per hour, which we commonly call speed.

Speed is equal to distance over time.
412.5 miles/5.5 hours=75 miles per hour

8 hours*75 mph= 600 total miles
412.5mi/5.5hr
= 75mi/1hr (unit rate)

Since the train travels 75 miles in 1 hour, in 8 hours it will travel 75 x 8 = 600 miles
