The distance covered in one hour is 76 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Edward drives a car for 28.5 miles.
Therefore, the distance he travels by the car = 28.5 miles.
The time it takes to drive 28.5 miles is 3/8 of an hour.
The formula to find the rate :
Rate = Distance traveled / Time taken in hours.
Here, the distance is 28.5 miles and time is 3/8 hour.
Rate = [tex]28.5/ (3/8)[/tex]
To find the distance covered in 1 hour :
Let us assume, 'x' be the distance covered in one hour.
Rate = [tex]x/1[/tex]
Now, comparing the rates to find the x value :
⇒ [tex]28.5 / (3/8) = x /1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = 28.5 \times 8/3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = 228/3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = 76[/tex]
Therefore, the distance covered in one hour is 76 miles.
