You can put this solution on YOUR website! Marcella leaves home at 9:00 A.M. and drives to school, arriving at 9:45 A.M. Ifthe distance between home and school 27 mi, what is Marcella"s average rate of speed?
time of travel =9:45-9:00=45 mts=45/60 hrs=3/4 hrs.
distance=27 miles
speed = distance/time =27/(3/4)=27*4/3=36 miles per hour
