Question

Ana hikes at a constant speed. She travels 6 miles in 2 hours. use the equation to find the distance Anna travels in 1.5 hours

Answer 1

we are given that

She travels 6 miles in 2 hours

so, firstly we will find speed

we know that

speed = distance travelled / time taken

speed travelled = 6 miles

time taken =2 hours

so, speed is

`v=(6)/(2) miles/hour`

`v=3 miles/hour`

now, we are given speed is constant

And Ana travels 1.5 hours

so, time =1.5 hours

we have to find distance

we know that

distance = speed *time

we can plug values

`distance=3*1.5 miles`

`distance=4.5 miles`.....................Answer
