Clarissa cycled at 121/2 miles per hour for 21/2 hours. How far did she travel?(1

Answer 1

To find out how far Clarissa traveled, we need to multiply her speed by the time she traveled.

Her speed was 121/2 miles per hour, which can also be written as 12.5 miles per hour.

Her time traveled was 21/2 hours, which can also be written as 2.5 hours.

To find the distance traveled, we multiply the speed by the time: 12.5 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 31.25 miles.

Clarissa traveled 31.25 miles.
