Question 562545: My son is doing Algebra foundations. This is the problem that he needs to solve and I think I am solving it correctly however, I need to make sure. The speed (s) that Brandon can ride his bike if he rides 3/5 of an hour and travels 4 miles is given by the equation 4 = 3/5 (s) What is Brandon's speed?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The speed (s) that Brandon can ride his bike if he rides 3/5 of an hour and travels 4 miles is given by the equation 4 = 3/5 (s) What is Brandon's speed?
----
rate = distance/time = 4/(3/5) = 20/3 = 6 2/3 mph

Distance equals rate times time, so yes, if the distance is 4 miles, the time is , and the rate is , then is correct. Now all you need to do is solve the equation for -- multiply both sides by .
