Remember that the distance traveled (D) equals the rate (r) multiplied by the time (t). In other words, D = rt


D=rt Start with the given equation.


D=3%2A10 Plug in r=3 (the given speed) and t=10 (the given time)


D=30 Multiply


So if a person hikes for 10 hours at 3 km/hr, then they have gone 30 miles.
