Question

Jordan signed up for the Annual Cross Florida bike ride which is a 170 mile bike ride. After weeks of training he rides at an average of 15 miles per hour. What is x in real world context?

Answer 1

Answer: 11.3 hours

Explanation:

Before this question is another asking for an equation depicting this with Jordan's progress in miles (y) after a number of hours (x).

That would be y = 15x

x in the real world context would be the number of hours it would take for Jordan to finish the 170 mile bike race.

To solve this make y to be 170 and solve for x.

170 = 15x

x = 170/15

x = 11.3 hours
