Seventh grade algebra?

Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt). That is a key formula that you should remember forever.

Here are your givens:

Distance - 232.5 miles

Rate - 55 mph

Time - ???

Substitute the givens in to your formula.

232.5 = 55t (t = time)

Now just solve like a basic problem. You have to isolate the variable (t). To do that, divide both sides by 55 (since you are multiplying 55 by "t", you have to divide to separate them).

232.5 / 55 = t

4.23 hours (rounded to the hundredths)

Okay. 7th grade was a breeze, hun. I can help. This is a unit conversion problem.

(/ is a fraction.)

232.5miles/X hours times 55 miles/1 hour. Set it up like that, now cross multiply, and the units go away. So now you have 232.5 times 55 X. Divide 232.5 by 55. Wha La =D

Hope this helped.

1. Use the formula: d=rt d=distance, r=rate(mph), t (hours)

2. Plug in the information: 232.5=55(t)

3.Solve for "t" by dividing both sides by 55 to get t=4.227 (thats a rounded answer)

232.5 miles = 55mph * number of hours

232.5=55x

divide 232.5 by 55 to get x value

232.5/55=x

4.27=x

so about 4 and a half hours

Divide 232.5 by 55.

Easy Im going to attempt to put in 7th grade work steps for yah.

232.5 1

-------- x ------ 232.5 over 1 is just 232.5. 1 over 55 is 55 miles per 1 hour. get me?

1 55

232.5 12.5

--------- = 4.22 hours or 4 -------- hours or 4 hours 13 min.

55 55

You divide 232.5 by 55 to get ____ miles per hour

ok so for every hour the person drives, he drives a total of 55 miles (this is what it means by 55mph) so by using that, you can divide the number of miles he is driving for the number of miles he regularly traves in an hour to see how many hours it will take him so 232.5 divided by 55 = 4.22727273

every 55 miles takes him and hour, so how many 55 miles are there is 232.5

232.5 / 55 = 4.2 so it takes him 4.2 hours because there are 4.2 pair of 55 in 232.5

divide 232.5 by 55. its that easy. the asnwer is 4-5 hours. i dont know in my head
