Total distance Use the formula (average rate) = Total time to solve the following problem.
Jamel went on a short trip to visit a friend who lives 22 miles away. The trip there took 1/3 of an hour, and the trip back home took 1/2 of an hour. What was his average rate for the trip? Write your answer in fraction form.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
