Question

On Saturday, mason biked 1. 5 hours at a speed of 11. 9 miles per hour. On Sunday, he biked 3. 2 hours at a speed of 14. 8 miles per hour. How much farther did he bike on Sunday?

Answer 1

Mason biked 29.51 miles farther on Sunday than on Saturday.

Explanation:

In order to find how much farther Mason biked on Sunday than on Saturday, we will first need to know the distance travelled on these two days.

We can find the distance using the distance-rate-time formula, which is

d = rt, where d is the distance, r is the rate/speed, and t is the time.

Mason's distance on Saturday:

d = 11.9 * 1.5

d = 17.85 miles

Mason's distance on Sunday:

d = 47.36 miles

Now, we can solve by taking the difference of Mason's distance on Saturday and his distance on Sunday.

Difference = 47.36 - 17.85

Difference (i.e., how much farther Mason biked on Sunday) = 29.51 miles farther
