6. Fred is riding his bike in a race to earn money for a sick boy. Fred rides his bicycle at a top speed of 17 miles per hour. If Fred gets 1 dollar for every mile he rides in a time period of 4 hours, how much money will he make for the sick boy?

If Fred rides 17 miles an hour and rides for 4 hours, then you multiply 17 miles by 4 hours to determine total miles. Then multiply total miles by the $ per mile to determine total $ made.

Step 1:
=17 miles * 4 hours
=68 total miles

Step 2:
=68 total miles * $1 per mile
=$68 total money made

Hope this helps! :)
