can someone help please?
Toni is riding her bicycle at a constant speed of 18 kilometers per hour. At this rate, how many hours will it take her to ride 24 kilometers? Use the distance formula d = rt. a. 1 1/3 b. 1 1/2 c. 1 2/3 d. 1 3/4
Well, plug the numbers in the equation. Distance is 24k, rate is 18k, time is 60 minutes.
Well, I take that back, time isn't 60 minutes, I was getting ahead of myself.
Here, I'm going to tell you the answer and maybe this helps, okay? And I WAS right about time, it's 60 mins.
The answer is A.
So you need to multiply the correct time with your rate (18) to equal the distance (24)
couldnt you just divide 24 by 18
1 and one 3rd of 18 is is 24
You could, but the question was use d =rt
ok
I didn't want to do it a different way, in case they needed to write out their work. But the way you did it is perfectly fine as well.
Hope that helps Ali :)
