A car is moving at a steady rate. The distance it travels is proportional to the amount of time, in hours, it has been driving. It has traveled a total of 168 miles in 3 hours. (a) What is the ratio of the distance to the number of hours? Express as a fraction and as a unit rate with appropriate units.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance travelled be d miles and time be t hours.

d = kt where k is a constant, k тЙа 0

168 = 3k

k = 56

d/t = k

hence it's ratio is 56 : 1 and fraction is 168/3 = 56/1 and fraction with unit is 56miles/hour.
