Question

Kendra is planning to ride her bicycle on a popular biking path that is 84 miles long. She plans to average 7 miles per hour. To find how long the trip will take, solve the distance formula d = rt for t. Then substitute to find the time it will take her for the trip.

7 hours
13 hours
11 hours
12 hours

Answer 1

12 hours. multiply 7 until you get close to 84

Answer 2

12 hours

Explanation:

If we plug in the rate, 7 mph, and the total distance, 84, into the formula
`distance = rate * time`, you would get that 84 = 7t since the time is unknown. Next, we can divide both sides by 7 to get that t = 84/7, and 84/7 is 12, meaning that it will take Kendra 12 hours for the trip.
