Question

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
does his journey take?

Answer 1

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

Answer 2

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (13 mi) / (4 mi/hr)

Time = 3.25 hr  or  3hr 15min .
