Question

Riya's biking app says that she rides at a speed of 5 miles per hour.

At this speed, how far does Riya ride in 1 hour?

At this speed, how far does Riya ride in 3 hours?

Write an equation for the relationship between Riya's distance biked, d,and time t​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Formula

d = speed * time

d = s * t

Givens

t = 1 hour

t2 = 3 hours

s = 5 miles / hour

Solution

t = 1 hour

d = s * t

d = 5 mph * 1 hour

d = 5 miles

t = 3 hours

d = s * t

d = 5 miles / hour * 3 hours

d = 15 miles

Answer

d = s * t

d = 5 miles

d = 15 miles
