Question

Troy is training for a coast-to-coast bike ride across the United States. He plans to maintain an average speed of 15 miles per hour for 8 hours every day. If his route is 3,360 miles, how many weeks will it take him to finish?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

15 x 8 = 120, so Troy bikes 120 miles each day

3360/120 = 28 days or 4 weeks

Answer 2

Answer:

4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

3360/(15*8)=28 days. This means it is the total miles divided by how many miles Troy does in one day, which gives the number of days to complete.

Convert days to weeks. 28 days= 4 weeks. This is just dividing the days by seven in order to get the total weeks.

Hope this helped. :-)
