Answer:
20 miles per hour (20 mi/h)
Step-by-step explanation:
100 miles/5 hours = 20 miles/ 1 hour
(simplify the proportion)
Consider the following formula s=d/t, with
s being the speed, d as the distance, and t as the time.
this is because miles per hour is a measurement of speed.
In this case, 100 miles is the distance. 5 hours is the time, and we are solving for s.
s = 100/5, s = 20/1, s = 20 which is 20. So the rate or the speed is 20 miles per hour.
Anything multiplied or divided by 1 will remain the same.
