Question 676712: It takes Karl 6 hours to drive 372 miles. If he drives at a constant speed during the 6 hours, what is his unit rate? At this rate, how far will Karl drive in 8 hours? Answer by rm29924(97) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! use the formula distance=rate x time
the distance is 372 miles
the time is 6 hours
let R = rate
372=R6
divide both sides by 6
R=62 mph
Karl is driving 62 mph...that is his rate
How far will he drive in 8 hours
use the same formula distance=rate x time
the rate is 62 mph
the time is 8 hours
we want to find the distance
let D = distance
D=62(8)
D=496 miles
Karl will drive 496 miles in 8 hours
