Question

A biker can travel 8 miles in one hour. How long will it take him to travel 32 miles?

Create a table. Highlight the unit rate. State your answer clearly with a label.

Answer 1

4hrs

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Rate of the biker = 8mph

Unknown:

Time taken to travel 32miles = ?

Solution:

We have been given the speed of the bike which is 8mp.

Speed is the distance covered per unit of time. It is mathematically expressed as;

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

So,

Time =
`(distance )/(speed )`

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

time =
`(32)/(8)` = 4hrs
