Match each military vehicle's travel scenario to its correct average unit rate in miles per hour.
- A jeep travels 120 miles in 3 hours40 miles per hour
- A helicopter flies 300 miles in 2 hours150 miles per hour
- A supply truck covers 220 miles in 4 hours55 miles per hour
- A patrol boat travels 180 miles in 5 hours36 miles per hour
Answer
The jeep matches to 40 mph, the helicopter to 150 mph, the truck to 55 mph, and the patrol boat to 36 mph.
Each unit rate is found by applying the formula for speed: Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Calculating this for each vehicle yields the correct matching pairs.
