Question

Shawn hike 12 miles and 4 hours at the same rate what is the total number of miles he could hike in 9 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

27 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate or speed that Shawn hikes at. Find this reduced to lowest terms.

speed = distance / time

speed = 12 miles / 4h

speed = 3miles / h

Every hour, Shawn hikes 3 miles.

Multiply speed by time to find distance.

3mph X 9h = 27 miles

Therefore Shawn could hikes 27 miles in 9 hours.
