Question

The formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. A bicyclist rides at a

constant rate of 15 miles per hour. How many miles will she travel in 3.5 hours?​

Answer 1

D = rt

We are given the rate r to be 15 mph.

We are given the time (in hours) to be 3.5.

We need to find D.

D = (15)(3.5)

D = 52.5 miles.
