Question

shella is participating in a multi-day bike trip. on the first day, she rode 100 miles in 8 hours. use the expression d/t where d is the distance traveled and t is the travel time to find her average rate of travel. include units when evaluating the expression.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, first we have to substitute our integers in for our variables in the equation we are using.

d/t= 100 miles/8 hours

Then, we have to simplify the integer equation.

100 miles/8 hours = 12.5 miles per hour

This means that Shella traveled at an average speed of 12.5 mph on her bike trip.
