Answer 1

Yes, Renaldo will be reach on time for his Soccer practice.

Explanation:

For traveling for 3.2 miles bus takes 30 minute times.

So, traveling a 1-mile bus will take 30 ÷ 3.2 minutes.

Now, Renaldo reaches the dentist's office at 4:30 p.m.

Then he has an appointment for 1 hour

So, Renaldo leaves the dentist's office at 5:30 p.m.

Now he has to travel 4.8 miles, it will take time =
`4.8*(30)/(3.2) = 45 minutes`

So, Renaldo will reach Soccer field at

5 hours 30 minute + 45 minutes = 6 hours 15 minutes = 6:15 p.m

Hence, Renaldo will reach Soccer field before 6:30 p.m.
