It is 12:00 and George is leaving home. He arrives at his destination at 14:30. If his rate of travel was consistent and he had traveled a distance of 100 miles, how fast was George traveling?

100 miles in 2.5 hours
100/2.5 = 40 miles/hour

Distance = Rate * Time
rearrange it to R = D / T
Your clue is that we call speeds in miles per hour. Distance is in miles, time is in hours, which would give you miles per hour….
R = 100 / 2.5 (2hr 30min = 2.5 hours)
R = 40 miles per hour
