A cyclist rode for 3.5 hours and completed a distance of 60.9 miles, if she kept the same average speed for each hour, how far did she ride in 1 hour
Estimate the quotient. Include the equation to show your work. Explain your thinking
To find the distance the cyclist rode in one hour, we can divide the total distance of 60.9 miles by the total time of 3.5 hours.
Distance in 1 hour = Total distance / Total time
Distance in 1 hour = 60.9 miles / 3.5 hours
Using a calculator, we can find:
Distance in 1 hour ≈ 17.4 miles
Therefore, the cyclist rode approximately 17.4 miles in one hour.
