Question

Louis has already biked 17.7 miles this week. He can bike 6 miles in one hour. let the total biked be represented by d. let the number of hours biking be represented by h. an equation that represents this scenario is: d=6h+17.7 what is the total number of miles biked if he bikes 10 hours. answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

77.7 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Louis has already biked 17.7 miles this week. He can bike 6 miles in one hour. Let the total biked be represented by d and let the number of hours biking be represented by h. an equation that represents this scenario is: $d=6h+17.7$.

To find total number of miles Louis biked in 10 hours we will substitute 10 in place of h in our given equation.

$d=6*h+17.7$

$d=6*10+17.7$

$d=60+17.7$

$d=77.7$

Therefore, number of total miles biked will be 77.7 miles if Louis bikes for 10 hours.
