Maya can run 18 miles in 3 hours, she can bike 18 miles in 2 hours. What distance in Maya travel if she ran for t hours and then biked for r hours?

Answer 1

We can use the formula:

distance = rate x time

For running:

distance = 18/3 = 6 miles per hour

For biking:

distance = 18/2 = 9 miles per hour

If Maya ran for t hours, she would cover a distance of:

6t miles

If she biked for r hours, she would cover a distance of:

9r miles

The total distance Maya traveled would be:

distance = 6t + 9r miles
