Bradley went on a bike ride to the store 6 miles away if it took Bradley 3/8 of an hour to get there and 1/4 of an hour to get back what was his average rate of speed miles per hour for the entire trip?

Answer 1

To find Bradley's average rate of speed for the entire trip, we first need to calculate the total time it took him to make the round trip.

Time to get to the store: 3/8 hour
Time to get back: 1/4 hour

Total time = 3/8 + 1/4
= 6/8 + 2/8
= 8/8
= 1 hour

Now, we know the total distance Bradley traveled is 6 miles + 6 miles = 12 miles.

Average rate of speed = Total distance / Total time
= 12 miles / 1 hour
= 12 miles/hour

Therefore, Bradley's average rate of speed for the entire trip was 12 miles per hour.
