A father walks 36 miles in 12 hours while his son covers the same distance on a bicycle at twice the fathers rate of speed. At this rate how many miles would the bicycle rider travel in 9 hours?
-------------------
Father DATA:
distance = 36 miles ; time = 12 hr ; rate = d/t = 3 mph
-----------------------
Son DATA:
distance = 36 miles ; rate = 6 mph
----
distance = rate*time
d = 6 mph * 9 hrs.
---
d = 54 miles
