You are taking a bike trip. After riding 8 miles , you change your speed to 12 MPH. What is the total distance you travel if you stay at this speed for 3 hours?
What was your speed in the first 8 miles?
It don't say
Oh, o.k. I misread the problem.
(12 * 3) + 8 = ______ total miles.
Thank u
You are welcome.
To find the total distance traveled during your bike trip, you can use the formula: distance = speed × time.
In this scenario, you have ridden 8 miles already before changing your speed. So, you need to calculate the distance traveled at the new speed.
Given that your speed is now 12 MPH and you will be riding for 3 hours, the distance you will travel at this speed is:
distance = speed × time
distance = 12 MPH × 3 hours
To find the total distance, you first need to calculate the distance traveled at the new speed and then add it to the distance already traveled.
1. Calculate the distance using the new speed:
distance = 12 (MPH) × 3 (hours)
2. Multiply the speed (12 MPH) by the time (3 hours):
distance = 36 miles
3. Add the distance already traveled (8 miles) to find the total distance:
total distance = 8 miles + 36 miles
Therefore, the total distance you will travel on your bike trip is 44 miles.
