You can put this solution on YOUR website! Henry drove 800 miles in X hours on Monday.
A. Write a rational expression for his average speed.
average speed = distance/time = (800/x) miles per hour

B. On Tuesday he drove for 6 hours at the same average speed. Write a rational expression for his distance on Tuesday.
distance = rate * time = [(800/x)*6] = (4800/x) miles
