Chad rides 2 hours total on a bicycle trip into the country and back. He rode out at the rate of 18 mph and returned at the rate of 22 mph. How far into the country did Chad ride
distance=18*timeout=22(2-timeout)
18 timeout=44-22timeout
40timeout=44
timeout=1.1 hours
distance= 18*1.1 miles
To find the distance Chad rode into the country, we can use the formula: Distance = Rate × Time.
Let's denote the distance Chad rode into the country as "d" (in miles).
We know that Chad spent a total of 2 hours on the trip, riding out and returning.
Let's calculate the time Chad spent riding out:
Time (riding out) = Distance / Rate (riding out)
We can express the equation as: d/18.
We also know that Chad spent the same amount of time riding back, which took him 2 - d/18 hours.
The total time for the trip is 2 hours:
Time (riding out) + Time (riding back) = Total Time
d/18 + (2 - d/18) = 2.
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of "d":
d/18 + 36/18 - d/18 = 2
(d - d)/18 + 36/18 = 2
36/18 = 2
2 = 2.
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can see that the equation is true for any value of "d", which implies that Chad could have ridden any distance into the country.
Therefore, without additional information about the time or how the distance is split between the two legs of the journey, we cannot determine a specific distance Chad rode into the country.
