Question

If Garrett rode his bike uphill 2/3 of a mile in 1/6 of an hour, how fast was he traveling in miles per hour?

Answer 1

You have to multiply by six to see how fast he is riding in mph. He is going 4 mph.

Answer 2

Distance traveled by Garrett =
`(2)/(3)` mile

Time taken to travel the distance =
`(1)/(6)` hour

We have to find how fast was he traveling in miles per hour, means we have to calculate the speed.

Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time.

Speed = Distance traveled
`/` Time taken

=
`(2)/(3) / (1)/(6)`

=
`(2)/(3) * {6}`

= 4 miles per hour

Therefore, Garrett traveled at the speed of 4 miles per hour.
