(9th grade Algebra 1)

Answer 1

d = rt ( d = distance, r = rate (speed) and t = time)

14 = 7t

Divide both sides by 7:

t = 14/7

t = 2 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes.

2 hours x 60 = 120 minutes total.

Answer 2

120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

14 divided by 7 is 2 (hours). This means that Andrew biked for 2 hours at a pace of 7mph. Two hours is equal to 120 minutes.
