Question

Guillermo used the fact that a highway bus traveled 275 miles in 5 hours to find the unit rate. How can he check his answer? Multiply the unit rate by 5 hours and see if it equals the total distance. Multiply the unit rate by 5 hours and see if it equals the total time. Multiply the unit rate by 275 miles and see if it equals the total distance. Multiply the unit rate by 275 miles and see if it equals the total time.

Answer 1

Answer:

a:multiply the unit rate by 5 hours and see if it equals the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

To check his answer Guillermo needs to multiply the unit rate by 5 hours and see if it equals the total distance. Option A is correct.

The correct option is to be determined from the choices given.

What is speed?

Speed is the ratio of distance travel to the time taken.

The unit rate for the bus is,
Speed of the bus = total distance / total time
                             = 275/5
                             =  55 miles/hour
Here, to verify 55 miles per hour is the unit rate in an hour when it is multiplied by 5(i.e.) total time it would give 275 miles (i.e.) total distance traveled by bus.

Thus, to check his answer Guillermo needs to multiply the unit rate by 5 hours and see if it equals the total distance.
