jason cycled for 3 hours. He cycled 7 1/2 miles each hour for the first 2 hours and the distance he cycled for the 3rd hour was 1/4 of the total distance he cycled in 3 hours. What was the total distance Jason cycled in 3 hours?
Accepted Solution
A:
7 1/2 * 2 = 15
The 3rd hour was 1/4 of the total distance in 3 hours.
1/4 = 0.25 as a decimal, and 25% as a percent.
15 (0.25) = 3.75 15 + 3.75 = 18.75
0.75 = 3/4 as a fraction.
So, he cycled 18 3/4 miles in 3 hours.
I hope this helps, and I am sorry if I get this question wrong. (which is in all likelihood)
