Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part one
1 mile per hour = 1.60 kilometers per hour
30 miles per hour = ?
Step 1: Set up a fraction.
The units must be on the same level. And the rate in KM (kilometer) per hour will be a variable, "[tex]k[/tex]". It does not matter whether they are top or bottom.
[tex]\frac{1.60}{1} = \frac{k}{30}[/tex]
As you can see, 1 mile per hour and 30 miles per hour are at the same level, leaving the rest on the same level, as well.
Step 2: Solve
[tex]\frac{1.60}{1} = \frac{k}{30}[/tex]
1.60 × 30 = 48
1 × k = 1
Therefore, the rate is 48 kilometers per hour.
Part 2
This part is mainly the same as the first part. Fractions. However, since we've already found out the answer for part one, it will be simple.
Step 1: Multiply the result to 5.
48 × 5 = 240
Therefore, the cyclist will travel 240 kilometers in 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to make everything more clear, rewrite it like this-
1 mile = 1.6km
So we have to multiply 30 (miles) by 1.6 (km)
30 x 1.6 + 48
So it is 48km per hour, now we have to calculate how many km does she ride in 5 hours.
We have to multiply 48 by 5 which equals 240
So the answer is 240km
