    r = 40 miles / hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Formula

    d = r * t

    Givens

    d = 16 miles

    t = 24 minutes = 24 / 60 minutes in an hour = 0.4 hours

    r = ?

    Substitute and solve

    16 miles = r * 0.4 hours Divide by 0.4

    16/0.4 = r Switch sides

    r = 16/0.4

    r = 40 miles / hour
