as d=rt, where d= distance traveled, r= the rate of speed, and t= the length of time traveled. Johan travels 35 miles by bicycle in 1.75 hours. What is Johan’s rate of speed in miles per hour

1 answer

To find Johan's rate of speed (r), you can rearrange the formula \( d = rt \) to solve for \( r \):

\[ r = \frac{d}{t} \]

In this case, Johan travels \( d = 35 \) miles in \( t = 1.75 \) hours. Plugging in these values:

\[ r = \frac{35 \text{ miles}}{1.75 \text{ hours}} = 20 \text{ miles per hour} \]

So, Johan's rate of speed is 20 miles per hour.
