The rate of travel gives the average speed the car will be going if it covers
the 180 miles in different times
Part 1. The table showing the rate at which the car was going is presented as follows;
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|cc|} \underline{\mathbf{Travel \ time, \, t\ (hours)}}&&\underline{\mathbf{Rate \ of \ travel \ (miles \ per \ hour)}}\\&&\\5&&36\\&&\\4.5&&40\\&&\\3&&60\\&&\\2.25&&80\end{array}\right][/tex]
Part 2. To make it easy to find the rate of travel, the following equation may be uses;
- [tex]\underline{The \ rate \ of \ travel= \dfrac{180 \ miles}{t \ hours}}[/tex]
Reasons:
Part 1.
The given distance travelled by the car = 180 miles
[tex]The \ rate \ of \ travel= \dfrac{Distance \ traveled}{Time \ taken}[/tex]
Therefore, we have;
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \underline{\mathbf{Travel \ time, \, t\ (hours)}}&\underline{\mathbf{Rate=\dfrac{180}{t} } }&\underline{\mathbf{Rate \ of \ travel \ (miles \ per \ hour)}}\\&&\\5&\dfrac{180}{5} = 36&36\\&&\\4.5&\dfrac{180}{4.5} = 40&40\\&&\\3&\dfrac{180}{3} = 60&60\\&&\\2.25&\dfrac{180}{2.25} = 80&80\end{array}\right][/tex]
Part 2.
The equation that would simplify the finding of the car's travel rate is given
by the following expression;
[tex]The \ rate \ of \ travel= \dfrac{Distance \ traveled}{Time \ taken}[/tex]
Where:
The constant distance traveled = 180 miles
The time taken = t
The equation that will make finding the rate of travel, easy in therefore;
[tex]\underline{The \ rate \ of \ travel= \dfrac{180 \ miles}{t \ hours}}[/tex]
