Question

jaylyn rode her bicycle in a bike-a-thon. she rode 33.48 miles in 2.7 hours. if she rode at the same speed, what was her speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

33.48 divided by 2.7 that will give you 12.4

Answer 2

`12.4(miles)/(hour)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the total distance by the total time

so

Let

x-----> the total distance in miles

y----> the total time in hours

s----> speed in miles per hours

`s=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x=33.48\ miles`

`y=2.7\ hours`

substitute the values

`s=(33.48)/(2.7)=12.4(miles)/(hour)`
