Hi,

If it took a train 23 min to travel 16 miles how fasthighlight%28r%29 was the train traveling?

 D = rt   OR  D/t = r

   16mi%2F%2823%2F60%29hr+=+41.74mph

D=RT is the formula for Distance, based on a rate and time.


16=R*23 | Divide both sides by 23.

16/23 = miles/minute = R<

.696 = R (miles/minute) |multiply by 60 to get miles/hour.

41.76 MPH.
