Question

John rides his bike with a constant speed of 12 miles per hour. How far can he travel in 2 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 miles

Explanation:

Make a proportion

He is traveling at a constant rate of 12 miles/hour, so

he can go 12 miles in 1 hour, and x miles in 2 hours

12/1=x/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2*12/1=x/2 *2

24=x

So, in 2 hours he can travel 24 miles
