This one is fairly simple, but we can use our old distance forumula to easily solve this question.
where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time.
In this example, we are given 580 miles as a distance, and 10 hours as a time.
Then substitute those numbers into our formula:
 miles/hour
So we can see that their rate of speed would be 58 miles per hour.
And because we only want to know how far they travel in one hour, our work is done.
They drove 58 miles in one hour.
More simply, we could have just divided 580 by 10 to find the answer,
but that wouldn't have been nearly as fun!
I hope this helps! :)
