Question 821258: Suppose a race car travels at an average rate of 165 miles per hour for 3 hours. What distance did the race car travel?
I already tried this here is what i did.
165=3hours.. I divided both sides by three and I got 55 miles per hour and it is not the right answer. I have exams next week and I'm so confused on this problem. Please help, thank you!

R*T=D, for RATE, TIME, and DISTANCE.

165%28miles%2Fhour%29%2A3%2A%28hour%29=495%2Amiles
