Rate vs. Time Rate (mph) 30 40 50 60 Time (h) 2 point 5 1 point 8 7 5 1 point 5 1 point 2 5 If one day Paula rides a scooter to her grandmother’s house at a constant rate of 24 miles per hour, how long should it take her?

Answer

B
2 point 7 5 hours
C
3 point 7 5 hours
D
2 point 6 2 5 hours

Explanation

The distance to her grandmother’s house is constant. At 30 mph for 2.5 hours, Paula travels 30 × 2.5 = 75 miles. At 24 mph, the time is 75 ÷ 24 = 3.125 hours, so the correct choice is A, 3.125 hours.
