Question

The distance from Fort Worth to Fresno is 1,530 miles. If a cyclist maintains an average speed of 17 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to travel from Fort Worth to Fresno

Answer 1

The time take for the cyclist to travel from Fort Worth to Fresno is $90 \ hours$

Explanation:

It is given that the distance from Fort Worth to Fresno is 1,530 miles.

The average speed of the cyclist is 17 miles per hour.

The time travelled by the cyclist can be determined using the formula,

$Distance=Speed \times Time$

Substituting the value of distance and speed, we get,

$1530=17\times Time$

Dividing both sides by 17, we get,

$90 =Time$

Thus, the time take for the cyclist to travel from Fort Worth to Fresno is $90 \ hours$
