Question

Please help me with my homework please

Answer 1

a) Speed of the cyclist is (2.75/0.4) = 6.875 miles per hour.

b) It will take (5.5/6.875) = 0.8 hours to travel 5.5 miles at this rate.

• Remember: Speed=Distance/Time

Answer 2

1)Distance covered by cyclist=3.75 miles.

Time =0.3 hours.

Speed= Distance ÷Time

Speed =3.75÷0.3=12.5 miles per hour.

2) Speed = 12.5 miles per hour, Distance = 4.5 miles .

Time = Distance ÷Speed.

Time = 4.5÷12.5=0.36 hours.

Time taken to cover 4.5 miles is 0.36 hours.
