<PRE><B>Question 557591</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;This one is fairly simple, but we can use our old distance forumula to easily solve this question.&lt;br&gt;

{{{d=r*t}}}&lt;br&gt;

where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time.&lt;br&gt;

In this example, we are given 580 miles as a distance, and 10 hours as a time.&lt;br&gt;

Then substitute those numbers into our formula:&lt;br&gt;

{{{580=r*10}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{r=58}}} miles/hour&lt;br&gt;

So we can see that their rate of speed would be 58 miles per hour.&lt;br&gt;

And because we only want to know how far they travel in one hour, our work is done.&lt;br&gt;

They drove 58 miles in one hour.&lt;br&gt;

More simply, we could have just divided 580 by 10 to find the answer,&lt;br&gt;

but that wouldn&#39;t have been nearly as fun!&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  :)&lt;br&gt;
