Question

Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph. How many miles will he bike in 3 hours and 6 minutes?

Answer 1

Jordan will cover $26\frac{13}{15}\ miles$ in 3 hours and 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of Jordan = $8\frac{2}{3}=\frac{26}{3}\ mph$

Time = 3 hours and 6 minutes.

Converting minutes into hour.

6 minutes = $\frac{6}{60}\ hour = \frac{1}{10}\ hour$

Therefore;

Time = 3+$\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{30+1}{10} = \frac{31}{10}\ hours$

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = $\frac{26}{3}*\frac{31}{10}$

Distance = $\frac{806}{30}=\frac{403}{15}$

Distance = $26\frac{13}{15}\ miles$

Jordan will cover $26\frac{13}{15}\ miles$ in 3 hours and 6 minutes.
