Problema Solution
Renaldo can rollerblade 9.7 miles per hours. Eliza can rollerblade 8.2 miles per hour. How much farther will Renaldo rollerblade in 0.75 hours?
Answer provided by our tutors
Since distance equals rate multiplied by time we will first calculate the distances that Renaldo and Eliza will blade in 0.75 hours.
In 0.75 hours Renaldo will pass a distance of: 9.7*0.75 = 7.275 mi
In 0.75 hours Eliza will pass a distance of: 8.2*0.75 = 6.15 mi
We subtract the distance of Eliza from the distance of Renaldo to find the how much further Renaldo will roller-blade:
7.275 - 6.15 = 1.125 mi
In 0.75 hours, Renaldo will blade 1.125 miles further that Eliza.
