Cindy rides her horse with a constant speed of 18 Km/h. How far can she travel in 3 hours 35 minutes

Answer 1

What do you know?

s = Speed= 18 km/hr

t = Time= 3hr 35min = 3.583 hr

* Change time decimal so change 35 min to (35÷60= 0.583)

Need to know= distance =d =speed x time = d=s x t

18km/1 hr. x 3.583 hr =

*Cancel out the "hr" unit

18 km / 1. X 3.583 = 18 km x 3.583 = 64.44 km

Answer

d = 64.44 km

Answer 2

Let's convert the 35 minutes to a decimal by dividing by 60 minutes.

The number of hours traveled are then 3 + (35/60) = 3.583 hours

distance = speed x time

distance = 18 km/hr x 3.583 hours = 64.5 km
