Question

16) Ms. Anderson could travel on her bike 24 miles in 3 hours. Use the Distance Formula (d=rt) to answer the following questions. (3 pts) (a) What was her rate of speed? (b) How long would it take her to travel 64 miles? (c) At the same speed, how far could she travel in 9 hours?

Answer 1

Distance : 24 miles

Time : 3 hours

Distance formula:

d= rate x time

a) speed rate

speed rate= distance /time = 24 /3 = 8 miles per hour

b) time = distance / speed rate = 64 / 8 = 8 hours

c) distance = rate x time= 8 mph x 9 h = 72 miles
