CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM:
Solve the problem:

.
This problem is pretty easy, we will use the distance formula ( D ( distance) = R (rate) * T ( time ) )
.
Janet drove 256 kilometers and the trip took 4 hours. How fast was Janet traveling?
.
Janet travels 256 kilometers, our "D", we are trying to find the "R" (rate), it takes Janet 4 hours, our "T" (Time)
.
In our equation,
,
, we are trying to find "R"
.
Since
, lets replace the letters with the numbers we know
.
=
, rearranging,
=
.
=
=
, to find "R" we will divide each side by "4"
.
=
=
.
Janet was traveling
kilometers per hour ( since our "D" was given in kilometers, Our "T" was given in hours )
.
We can check by replacing "R" with "64" in our equation
.
=
=
(True)
.
Janet was traveling
kilometers per hour, which is your answer
.
Hope I helped, Levi
