Question

Sarah is training for a bike race.She rides her bike 5 3/4 miles in 1/3 hour.What is Sarah's rate in miles per hour?Express your answer as mixed number

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate=17 1/4 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate=Distance/Time, where;

Distance=5 3/4=23/4miles

Time=1/3 hour

Rate=(23/4)÷(1/3)=(23/4)×3=17.25=17 1/4

Mixed number consists of an integer(whole number) and a proper fraction;

In our case Sarah rides at the rate of 17(integer) and 1/4(fraction) miles per hour

Rate=17 1/4 miles/hour
