The number of days Miguel will take to complete the race is 12 days and this can be determined by using the definition of speed.
Given :
- A cycle race in France is 2214.5 miles in length.
- Miguel knows his average speed from previous races is 21.14 miles per hour.
- For this next race in France, he is planning on cycling 9 hours per day.
The formula of speed is used to determine the number of days Miguel will take to complete the race.
The formula of speed is given by:
[tex]\rm S =\dfrac{D}{t}[/tex] --- (1)
where S is the speed, D is the distance, and t is the time.
Put the values of D and S in equation (1) in order to determine the number of days Miguel will take to complete the race.
[tex]21.14 = \dfrac{2214.5}{t}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{2214.5}{21.14}[/tex]
t = 104.75 hours
For nine hours per day it will take:
[tex]\rm \dfrac{104.75}{9} = 11.64 \approx 12\; days[/tex]
The number of days Miguel will take to complete the race is 12 days.
