Question

Chad cycled 62.3 miles in 3.5 hours. if he cycled at a constant speed , how far did he cycle in 1 hour

Answer 1

To find how many miles he went in 1 hour, divide 62.3 by 3.5.

62.3 / 3.5 = 17.8

Answer 2

we know that

Chad cycled
`62.3` miles in
`3.5` hours

so

by proportion

`(62.3)/(3.5) (miles)/(hours) =(x)/(1) (miles)/(hour)\\ \\3.5*x=62.3\\ \\ x=62.3/3.5\\ \\x= 17.80\ miles`

therefore

the answer is

`17.80\ miles`
