Question

Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph. How many miles will he bike in 3 hours and 6 minutes?

Answer 1

Jordan will bike approximately 26 4/9 miles in 3 hours and 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many miles Jordan will bike in 3 hours and 6 minutes, we need to calculate the distance using the formula -

Distance = Speed x Time.

First, let's convert the time into hours. 3 hours and 6 minutes is equal to 3 + 6/60 = 3.1 hours.

Next, we can calculate the distance using the formula:

Distance = 8 2/3 mph x 3.1 hours

= 26 4/9 miles.

Therefore, Jordan will bike approximately 26 4/9 miles in 3 hours and 6 minutes.

Answer 2

He will bike 26.87 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph.

Now, to find the distance he will bike in 3 hours and 6 minutes.

Speed =
`8(2)/(3)=(26)/(3)\ mph.`

Time = 3 hours and 6 minutes

=
`180+6=186\ minutes.`

As, 60 minutes = 1 hour.

=
`(186)/(60) =3.1\ hours.`

So, to get the distance we put formula:

`Distance=speed* time`

`Distance=(26)/(3) * 3.1`

`Distance=(80.6)/(3)`

`Distance=26.87\ miles.`

Therefore, he will bike 26.87 miles.
