A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would make it easy to find the rate at which the car was traveling in miles per
hour r, if it traveled for t hours.

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r
