Problema Solution
You ride 18 miles on a bike in 2 hours. At this rate, how long will it take you to bike 49.5 miles?
Answer provided by our tutors
since rate = distance / time for the rate v we have
v = 18/2
v = 9 mph
for d = 49.5 mi we need to find t
v = d/t
9 = 49.5/t
by solving we find
t = 5.5 hr
