.
distance=rate x time (equation 1)
.
To find rate, divide both sides of the equation 1 by time:
rate=distance/time
350+miles%2F5+hours=70+miles%2Fhour The car is traveling 70 MPH.
.
To find time, divide both sides of equation 1 by rate:
time=distance/rate
560miles%2F70MPH=9hours
ANSWER: At the same rate, it will take the car 9 hours to travel 560 miles.
