you use the rate * time = distance equation
the problem states A family plans a 360 mile trip. Let y=time traveled in hours and x=average speed in miles per hour. What is the equation that expresses the relationship between time traveled (y) and average speed (x)?"
first we have x * y = 360
so y = 360 / x
