Amber drove to Connor's house at 43 mph. Connor's house is twenty-six miles away. How long did it take her to arrive at Connor's house? Express the following as a fraction.
Distance (d)= rate (r) times (*) time(t)
Rate=speed
highlight%28d=r%2At%29
Solve the formula for t by dividing both sides of the = sign by r:
d%2Fr=rt%2Fr... r/r=1 so...
d%2Fr=%281%29t
d%2Fr=t
t=d%2Fr...your d=26 and r=43, substitute them in and you have:
highlight%28t=%2826%2F43%29hr%29 Don't forget your units of hours.
Happy Calculating!!!
