Question

A cyclist rode for 3.5 hours and completed a distance of 60.9 miles. If she kept the same average speed for each hour, how far did she ride in 1 hour? Part B Find the exact distance she rode in 1 hour by completing the division.

Answer 1

A cyclist rode distance of 17.4 miles of distance in 1 hour,.

Explanation:

Distance covered by cyclist = d = 60.9 miles

Time taken to cover d distance = t = 3.5 hours

Speed of the cyclist = s

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)`

`s=(d)/(t)=(60.9 mile)/(3.5 hour)=17.4 mile/hour`

A cyclist rode distance of 17.4 miles of distance in 1 hour,.

Answer 2

divide total miles by total time:

60.9 / 3.5 = 17.4 miles per hour
