document.write( "Question 698862: if we knew that we traveled 300 miles in 5 hours and wanted to find our average rate of speed? How would I figure out what my speed was??? I know take a number lets say 50mph divided into 300miles = 6 So is the answer 60 mph correct? how would I figure out the answer to the question by only looking at 300mi in 5hrs? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are three equations all related, you should memorize all three of them
\n" ); document.write( "Find distance
\n" ); document.write( "dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "written as
\n" ); document.write( "d = s * t
\n" ); document.write( "or sometimes
\n" ); document.write( "d = r * t (for rate)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find Speed
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"d%2Ft%7D%7D%0D%0A%3A%0D%0AFind+time%0D%0At+=+%7B%7B%7Bd%2Fs\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "With these three you should be able to calculate any unknown related to dist, speed and time
\n" ); document.write( "
