Question

Nathan is planning to ride his bike for 24 minutes. Write an equation that Nathan can use to find d, the distance he will travel in 24 minutes, if his rate in miles per hours is represented by r

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are required to find the distance Nathan will travel.

Total distance travelled of Nathan is 2 miles

speed = Total distance travelled ÷ Total time take

total distance travelled = Speed × Total time taken.

Speed = 5 miles per hour

Time = 24 minutes

Convert minutes to hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 minutes = 0.4 hour

total distance travelled = Speed × Total time taken

= 5 miles per hour × 0.4 hour

= 2 miles

Therefore, total distance travelled of Nathan is 2 miles
