Question

Chad cycled 62.3 miles in 3.5 hours. if he cycled at a constant speed , how far did he cycle in 1 hour

Answer 1

we know that

Chad cycled $62.3$ miles in $3.5$ hours

so

by proportion

$\frac{62.3}{3.5} \frac{miles}{hours} =\frac{x}{1} \frac{miles}{hour}\\ \\3.5*x=62.3\\ \\ x=62.3/3.5\\ \\x= 17.80\ miles$

therefore

the answer is

$17.80\ miles$

Answer 2

To find how many miles he went in 1 hour, divide 62.3 by 3.5.

62.3 / 3.5 = 17.8
