Billy rides his bike 3 times a week for exercise. Complete the rate chart below to find the number of miles Billy can travel in a certain number of hours.
Number of Hours Spent Biking 10 12 14 16 18
Total Distance Traveled (in miles) 150 180 ? 240 270
Number of Hours Spent Biking 10 12 14 16 18
Total Distance Traveled (in miles) 150 180 210 240 270
To complete the chart, we can use the rate of Billy's biking, which is the number of miles he can travel in one hour. We can find this rate by dividing the total distance traveled by the number of hours spent biking.
For example, when Billy bikes for 10 hours, his rate is:
150 miles / 10 hours = 15 miles per hour
Using this rate, we can fill in the missing distance for 14 hours:
14 hours x 15 miles per hour = 210 miles
Therefore, the completed chart is:
Number of Hours Spent Biking 10 12 14 16 18
Total Distance Traveled (in miles) 150 180 210 240 270
