Question

Franklin rode his bike 24 miles in 3 hours. How many miles did Franklin travel per hour?

Answer 1

Franklin travelled 8 miles per hour as he travelled 24 miles in 3 hours and we got 8 miles on diving 24 miles by 3 hours

Answer 2

Concept:

We need to utilize the condition of ratio proportion and cross multiplication.

Given:

Distance = 24 miles in time = 3 hr

Find:

We need to determine the miles Franklin travel per hour

Solution:

When determining if two ratios or fractions are equivalent, the proportion formula is utilised.

By dividing the supplied values, we may determine the missing value.

It has been given to us that Franklin rode his bike 24 miles in 3 hours i.e 24/3 and x/1

Therefore. 24 miles distance = 3hr ----- 1

x miles distance = 1 hr ------ 2

We need to cross multiply the 1 and 2 equations as-

24 × 1 = 3 × x

Therefore, x = 24/3

x = 8 miles

Thus, Franklin travelled 8 miles per hour.
