Question

Gina rides her bike to work at an average of 10.4 miles per hour. She bikes 1.2 hours each day. How many miles does Gina ride each day?

Answer 1

So 10.4mi = 1 hour

We need to find out how many miles 1.2 hours is.

1.) Well, the first step would be to multiply 1.2 on both sides of:
10.4mi = 1 hour

because that would make this number of miles is = to 1.2 hours which is wha we're looking for

1.2(10.4) mi = 1.2 hour

2.) Simplify
12.48 mi = 1.2 hour

3.) That means Gina rides 12.48 miles each day if she rides for 1.2 hours each day at a pace of 10.4 miles per hour :)
