Question 847498: A car travels at 45 mph for 4 hours. How far is it traveled?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = rate * time.
Notice that 45 mph means that you travel 45 miles every hour. So if we travel 4 times as long (i.e. 4 hours), we would travel 4 times as long in distance as well.
So 45 mph * 4 hours = 180 miles
