Question

1. on a 3-hour bike ride, rod averaged 5.25 miles per hour. write a division equation that could be used to find the total distance rod biked. (example 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distance formula

The formula for distance \( d \) is \( d = \text{speed} \times \text{time} \). But we need a division equation. Let \( d \) be total distance. Speed \( v = 5.25 \) mph, time \( t = 3 \) hours. From \( d = v \times t \), we can rearrange to a division equation by solving for \( v \) or \( t \), but since we need to find \( d \) using division, we can think of \( \frac{d}{t}=v \) (because \( d = v\times t \implies \frac{d}{t}=v \)).

Step2: Substitute values

Substitute \( v = 5.25 \) and \( t = 3 \) into \( \frac{d}{t}=v \). So the division equation is \( \frac{d}{3}=5.25 \).

Answer:

\(\frac{d}{3} = 5.25\) (where \( d \) is the total distance Rod biked)
