Question

Han is planning to ride his bike 24 miles.

a. If he rides at a rate of 3 miles per hour, how long will it take?
At 4 miles per hour?
At 6 miles per hour?
b. Write an equation that Han can use to find t, the time it will take to ride 24 miles, if his rate in miles
per hour is represented by r.
c. On graph paper, draw a graph that shows t in terms of r for a 24-mile ride.

Answer 1

Please read the answers below.

Explanation:

a. If he rides at a rate of 3 miles per hour, how long will it take?

Time = Distance/Rate

Time = 24/3 = 8 hours

At 4 miles per hour?

Time = 24/4 = 6 hours

At 6 miles per hour?

Time = 24/6 = 4 hours

b. Write an equation that Han can use to find t, the time it will take to ride 24 miles, if his rate in miles per hour is represented by r.

The equation is the same we used in the part a of the problem:

t = 24/r

c. On graph paper, draw a graph that shows t in terms of r for a 24-mile ride.

The graph is attached.
