Question

Olivia hikes at a consistent rate of 3 mph. If she hikes for 6 hours, how far will she have traveled?

Answer 1

We can use the distance = rate times time formula.

This formula states that if you travel at a constant rate for a certain amount of time, you will know the distance that you traveled.

We know the rate is 3 mph and she hiked for 6 hours.

distance = 3 * 6
distance = 18

So, she traveled 18 miles.
