Question

Jessica is going for a run. She runs at a speed of
6
miles per hour for
9.6
miles. For how many hours does she run?

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

The underlying equation that you want to use here is

Time = Distance / Speed

On this one we have

Time = 9.6 miles / (6 miles/hour) = 1.6 hours

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

d = r · t

d / r = t

9.6 / 6 = t

1.6 = t

 

She runs for 1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes.
