Make a chart and fill it in to show how far he will bike if he maintains the same pace for 2 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours

Answer 1

2 hours: 27 miles, 3 hours: 40.5 miles, 3.5 hours: 47.25 miles

Explanation:

1.) If a hiker hikes 9 miles in 2/3 of an hour, he will hike 4.5 (Half of 2/3 is 1/3 and half of 9 is 4.5) miles in 1/3 of an hour and 13.5 miles per hour. (1/3 times 3 gives us a whole and 4.5 times 3 is 13.5)

2.) 2 hours: 13.5 * 2 = 27 miles

3.) 3 hours: 13.5 * 3 = 40.5 miles

4.) 3.5 hours: 13.5 * 3.5 = 47.25 miles
