<PRE><B>Question 627035</B>
You ride your bike up a steep mountain road
at 5 miles per hour. How far do you go in 3 hours?



Im trying to fiqure out how to solve this step by step any help would be nice. I have been out of math classes for atleast five years and need help on sample problem to get me back into math solving.


 distance = 5mph*3 hrs
 distance = 15 miles
ive come up with this butcant explain how i got there other than mulipliing mpg and the hour
-----------------
Not mpg, mph, miles/hour
------
d = r*t
d = 5 mi/hr * 3 hr
d = 15 miles
----
Notice that the hours cancel, leaving miles as the units.</PRE>
