If Joe rides south on his bicycle in a straight
line for 26 min with an average speed of 11.6
km/h, how far has he ridden?
Answer in units of km
To find the distance Joe has ridden, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
First, let's convert the time from minutes to hours since the speed is given in km/h.
26 min = 26/60 hours = 0.4333 hours (rounded to four decimal places)
Now we can insert the values into the formula:
Distance = 11.6 km/h x 0.4333 hours
To find the distance, multiply the speed by the time:
Distance = 5.0328 km (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, Joe has ridden approximately 5.0328 km.
