Question

If Garrett rode his bike uphill 2/3 of a mile in 1/6 of an hour, how fast was he traveling in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Distance traveled by Garrett = $\frac{2}{3}$ mile

Time taken to travel the distance = $\frac{1}{6}$ hour

We have to find how fast was he traveling in miles per hour, means we have to calculate the speed.

Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time.

Speed = Distance traveled $\div$ Time taken

= $\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{2}{3} \times {6}$

= 4 miles per hour

Therefore, Garrett traveled at the speed of 4 miles per hour.

Answer 2

You have to multiply by six to see how fast he is riding in mph. He is going 4 mph.
