Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a distance = rate times time problem where you are calling the rate "speed" instead. So our formula for distance then is distance = speed times time which is
d = st
The distance traveled in 126 miles and the time it took to do this was 3 hours. Filling in those values gives us
126 = s3 or
126 = 3s since multiplication is commutative. Solve for s by dividing both sides by 3 to get
s = 126/3 which is
s = 42 miles per hour
