if a guy tavels 36 miles in 12 hours and his friend travels in a bike half the time how much would he travel in 9 hours

36/12= 3 m/h

half of that 1.5/hr
1.5 * 9 = ?

Sorry, did that wrong.

36/12= 3 m/hr
half of that is 3 m/30 min or 6 m/hr
6 x 9 =

To determine how much the friend would travel in 9 hours, we can start by finding the rate at which the guy travels. We do this by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

The guy travels 36 miles in 12 hours. So, his rate is:

Rate = Distance / Time = 36 miles / 12 hours = 3 miles/hour

Now, since the friend travels for only half the time, we can find the time the friend travels by dividing the guy's time by 2:

Time for friend = 12 hours / 2 = 6 hours

Finally, we can calculate the distance the friend would travel by multiplying the friend's time by the rate:

Distance for friend = Rate * Time = 3 miles/hour * 6 hours = 18 miles

Therefore, the friend would travel 18 miles in 9 hours.
