Question

Jaylyn rode her bicycle in a bike-a-thon she wrote 33.48 miles in 2.7 hours if she rode at the same speed what was her speed in miles per hours

Answer 1

If she rode at the same speed it means the speed was same all the time. THis allows us to calculate average speed.

Average speed is defined by a formula:
$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

We have:
distance = 33.48 miles
time = 2.7 hours
speed = ?
$speed = \frac{33.48}{2.7} \\ speed = 12.4 mph$

Answer 2

To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calculate the speed, which is:
 
 V=d/t
 
 V is the speed.
 d is the distance (d=33.48 miles).
 t is the time (t=2.7 hours).
 
 Then, when you substitute this values into the formula for calculate the speed, you obtain:
 
 V=d/t
 V=33.48 miles/2.7 hours
 
 Therefore, the result is:
 
 V=12.40 miles/hour
 
 What was her speed in miles per hours?
 
 The answer is: 12.40 miles/hour
