Question

Oscar rides his skateboard 58 mile in 14 hour. How fast, in miles per hour, does he ride his skateboard?

Answer 1

I used the conversion method to find the answer. Ignore the math at the top of the paper. :)

Answer 2

Alrighty, since we know the total amount of miles he traveled in 14 hours, we need to find it for 1 hour. So he travels 58 miles per 14 hours. Now, in order to get 14 to 1, you would divide it by 14.

So, the speed would be 58/14 mph, which turns to 4.14 (if rounded to the nearest hundredth)
