Answer 1

The amount of time it takes to ride 26 miles is 2.89 hours.

Explanation:

Given : You ride your bike at 9 miles per hour.

To find : How long it will take you to ride 26 miles ?

Solution :

The equation given is
`9* t=26`

Using distance formula,

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}* \text{Time}`

According to formula t represent the time taken to cover the distance.

Your speed in miles per hour is 9 miles per hour.

The number of miles you've traveled so far is 26 miles.

Solving the equation,

`9* t=26`

`t=(26)/(9)`

`t=2.89` hours

The amount of time it takes to ride 26 miles is 2.89 hours.
