Question

Use the formula d =rt to find the distance d a long distance runner can run at a rate r of 9 1/2 miles per hour for time t of 1 3/4

Answer 1

d=rt
So you're going to plug in the values listed: r= 9 1/2 and t=1 3/4

This will give you:
d=(9.5)(1.75)

Then you solve:
d=16.625

You should probably convert that decimal answer into a fraction since you're question gave it to you as a fraction.
