Solution

Determine the speed:

In order to find the rate in which one should travel to cover the distance of 337.5 in 4.5

r=dt d=distance,t=time is used

Here, d=337.5 miles and r=4.5 hours

substitute d and r in the equation r=dt:

r=337.5 miles4.5 hours =75 miles/hours

so, rate r=75miles/hours

Hence, the rate in which one should travel to cover the distance of 337.5 miles in 4.5 hour is 75 miles/hour.
