Question

Deon plans to ride a 20-mi bicycle trail. If his average speed is 10 mi/h, how many hours will the ride take? Part 1: Solve the distance formula, d=rt d = r t , for t.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ride will take 2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Deon plans to ride a 20-mi bicycle trail, that is the total distance he plans to cover is 20-mi

Distance, d = 20 mi

Also, his average speed is 10 mi/h

rate of speed, r = 10 mi/h

To determine how many hours the ride will take,

From the formula,

d = rt

where

d is the distance covered

r is the average rate of speed

and t is the time.

We can solve for t, such

d = rt becomes

t = d/r

Now, from the question

d = 20 mi

r = 10 mi/h

∴ t = (20 mi) / (10 mi/h)

t = 2 h

Hence, the ride will take 2 h (hours)
