A cyclist rode for 3.5 hours and completed a distance of 60.9 miles, if she kept the same average speed for each hour, how far did she ride in 1 hour

Estimate the quotient. Include the equation to show your work. Explain your thinking

1 answer

To find the distance the cyclist rode in one hour, we can divide the total distance of 60.9 miles by the total time of 3.5 hours.

Distance in 1 hour = Total distance / Total time

Distance in 1 hour = 60.9 miles / 3.5 hours

Using a calculator, we can find:

Distance in 1 hour ≈ 17.4 miles

Therefore, the cyclist rode approximately 17.4 miles in one hour.
