Answer:

So he will cover a distance of 27 miles in 9 hours

Explanation:

Given:

Wyatt hiked = 6 miles

Time Taken = 2 hours

To Find:

Total distance covered in 9 hours = ?

Solution:

By the Distance formula we know that distance covered by any body is given by the formula

Distance = speed * time

Now we are given the distance and time of the Person and by this we can find its speed and from that we can find the distance covered in 9 hours so


Distance = speed * time

Here Distance = 6 miles

Time = 2 hours

Putting in the values

6 = speed * 2

Which could be written as

speed * 2 = 6

Dividing both sides by 2 it gives us

Speed = 3 miles / hour

Now we have the value of speed

we have to find distance covered in 9 hours

so

Distance = speed * time

Putting in the values

Distance covered in 9 hours = 3 * 9

= 27 miles

So he will cover a distance of 27 miles in 9 hours
