Answer:
The rate of the car is [tex]S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance traveled = 216 miles
Time taken = 4 hours
We know that speed of any object who travels a distance D in time T hours is given by the formula
⇒ [tex]S = \frac{D}{T}[/tex]
⇒ Put the values of D & T in the above formula
[tex]S = \frac{216}{4}[/tex]
[tex]S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]
Therefore the rate of the car is [tex]S = 54 \frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]
