Question

Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph. How many miles will he bike in: 2/3 hour?

Answer 1

5 7/9 miles

Explanation:

8 2/3 * 2/3 = 5 7/9

Answer 2

Jordan will cover 5.8 miles in 2/3 hours.

Explanation:

Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph.

Unit rate:

• 
  `8(2)/(3)=(26)/(3)=8.7` miles per hour

Since Jordan bikes 8.7 miles in one hour, all we just need is to multiply 8.7 by 2/3 in order to determine the number of miles covered in 2/3 hours.

Therefore,

The number of miles covered in 2/3 hours = 8.7 × 2/3

= 5.8 miles

• Therefore, Jordan will cover 5.8 miles in 2/3 hours.
