Question

Please help. Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph. How many miles will he bike in 3 hours and 6 minutes(Fraction form)

Answer 1

`26 (13)/(15)` miles

Explanation:

Let's convert 8 and 2/3 to an improper fraction

8 2/3 = 26/3

Lets convert 3 hours and 6 minutes over a fraction of 60 minutes

3 hours 6 minutes = 186 minutes/60 minutes = 186/60

Multiply both improper fractions:

`(26)/(3) \cdot (186)/(60) = (4836)/(180) = 26.866.... = 26 (13)/(15)`
