Rate is the measure of distance over time.
The equation for the distance traveled in 24 minutes is d = 0.4r
The rate in miles per hour is given as r.
The time (t) is given as:
[tex]t = 24min[/tex]
The formula to calculate distance (d) is:
[tex]d = r \times t[/tex]
Substitute 24 min for t
[tex]d = r \times 24\ min[/tex]
Divide by 60 to convert time to hours
[tex]d = r \times \frac{24}{60}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d = \frac{24}{60}r[/tex]
Simplify fraction
[tex]d = 0.4r[/tex]
Hence, the distance traveled is: 0.4r
