To get to the reunion, we drove a total of 504 miles in 9 hours. find our average rate of speed. (distance is the product of rate and time). write a paragraph explaining what strategy or strategies could be used to solve this problem. be sure to include a way in which a variable equation could be implemented: use the strategy you devised to solve the problem:

To get the answer to this question we will have to divide 504 by 9 to find our answer. So, 504 ÷ 9 = x. To find the value of x we will try seeing how many times 9 can go into 504 but, the answer cannot be found this way because it will keep going, so, what we will do is stop at 56 and see if 56*9 = 504. 9*56 does equal 504 so therefore they drove 56 MPH to get to the reunion.

Hope this helps!

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
