Question

A cyclist travels for three hours at a speed of 16 km/h. how far did the cyclist travel in kilometres?

A) 12 km
B) 16 km
C) 24 km
D) 48 km

Answer 1

The cyclist traveled 48 kilometers by multiplying their speed of 16 km/h by the time of 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how far the cyclist traveled, we can use the formula for distance which is the product of speed and time. The equation is Distance = Speed × Time. Given that the cyclist travels at a speed of 16 km/h for 3 hours, we calculate the distance as follows:

1. Identify the speed: 16 km/h.
2. Identify the time: 3 h.
3. Calculate the distance: Distance = 16 km/h × 3 h = 48 km.

Therefore, the cyclist traveled 48 kilometers.
