Question

jaylyn rode her bicycle in a bike-a-thon. she rode 33.48 miles in 2.7 hours. if she rode at the same speed, what was her speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

33.48 divided by 2.7 that will give you 12.4

Answer 2

Answer:

$12.4\frac{miles}{hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the total distance by the total time

so

Let

x-----> the total distance in miles

y----> the total time in hours

s----> speed in miles per hours

$s=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=33.48\ miles$

$y=2.7\ hours$

substitute the values

$s=\frac{33.48}{2.7}=12.4\frac{miles}{hour}$
