Use the formula distance=rate x time
the distance travelled is 54.8 miles
the time is 4 hours
we want to solve for the rate, how many miles per hour
let r=rate
54.8=r(4)
divide both sides by 4 to get the variable r by itself
r=13.7
the cyclist travels 13.7 miles per hour
but the question asks how far can the cyclist travel in 5 hours
using the same formula again
distance=rate x time
the distance is what we are looking for this time
let d=distance
we know the rate is 13.7 miles per hour
we know the time is 5 hours
d=13.7(5)
d=68.5
answer: the cyclist can travel 68.5 miles in 5 hours
