Question

A bicyclist travels at the rate of 8 miles in an hour. If the bicyclist continues at this rate, how many miles can the bicyclist travel in seven hours?
A. 54 miles
B. 55 miles
C. 45 miles
D. 56 miles

Answer 1

Distance = speed * time
x = 8 miles/hour * 7 hours

$x=\frac{8\ miles}{hour}*\frac{7\ hours}{1}\\\\x=\frac{56\ miles}{1}=56\ miles\ travelled$

Answer 2

Miles = Speed * Time = 8 miles/hours *7 hours = 56 miles, so the answer is D.
