Question

5. Ashley needs to ride her bike to her friend's house 96 miles away. She is riding at an

average rate of 15 miles per hour. She has 6 hours to get there. Will she make it?

Answer 1

She will not make it

Explanation:

The friends house is 96 miles away. If Ashley is riding her bike at 15 miles per hour, after 6 hours she will be at the 90 miles mark.

15 x 6 = 90

Ashley will be 6 miles short.

Answer 2

Nope!

Explanation:

If its only 15 miles per hours, you can multiple 15 by the amount of hours to get there, which is 6, to get 90. This means she still has 6 miles left and does not make it!
