Question

If Amanda walks an average speed of 2.75 miles per hour, how long will it take her to walk 8.25 miles?

Answer 1

3 hours

Explanation:

We have that the speed is given as follows:

`\begin{gathered} v=(d)/(t) \\ \text{where, } \\ v=\text{ speed = 2.75 mi/hr} \\ d\text{ = distance = 8.25 mi} \\ t\text{ = time } \end{gathered}`

To calculate the time it would take, we must replace in and solve for t, like this:

`\begin{gathered} 2.75=(8.25)/(t) \\ t=(8.25)/(2.75) \\ t=3\text{ hr} \end{gathered}`

Which means it would take you 3 hours
