What is the total distance that two people travel in 2 h if one of them is riding a bike at 20 mi/h and the other is walking at 3 mi/h?

Respuesta :

Answer:

46 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the distance traveled by the person riding at 20 mph.

Multiply 20 by 2:

20(2)

= 40 miles

Find the distance traveled by the person riding at 3 mph.

Multiply 3 by 2:

3(2)

= 6 miles

Add these distances together:

40 + 6

= 46

So, the total distance is 46 miles

Answer:

46 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both travel at a constant rate of miles per hour.

Time allowed: 2 hours.

Biker: 20 miles/hr, or (20 x 2) miles/ (2 x 1) hrs. = 40 miles/ 2 hours

Walker: 3 miles/hr or (3 x 2) miles/(2 x 1) hrs. = 6 miles/2 hours.

You are finding the total distance traveled together, and so add the two miles together:

40 + 6 = 46

46 miles in 2 hours is your answer.
