Paul is riding his bike 48 miles to the beach. His average rate of speed is 13.8 miles per hour. Paul stopped for a snack after 3 hours. How many miles does he have to go after his snack? Round your answer

Respuesta :

Speed is the rate of moving. The speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took.
speed= distance/time  , v=d/t
 So,from Paul's average speed we can calculate how much distance he has passed after 3 hours.
distance_3h=v*t=13.8 miles per hour * 3 hours
distance_3h=41.4 miles

There are total 48 miles to the beach, so Paul have to go 48miles-distance_3h after his snack, which gives:
48-41.4=6.6 miles


Answer:

(B) Pual has to ride 6.6 more miles after his snack.
