So these are set up into groups. you have 4 groups. you want to find 1/4 of the group and that would be 3 squares because 4 times 3 = 12

The Quinn family drove 228 miles in 4 hours at a constant rate. Which equation can be used to determine how far they traveled each hour?

Answers

What can be used on this is the distance over time formula, so what you,do is divide 228 by 4 to get the distance traveled in one hour. And 288/4=57. So they traveled 57 mi in one hour. Hope this helped.
Okay, so all you would have to do is find the unit rate, and to do that, you would divide 4 INTO 228, (228 divided by 4), which would be 57, so they drive 57 miles PER HOUR.
I hope I helped! =D
