Solve the formula \(d = rt\) for \(t\).

Find the time in hours it would take Van Dyk to travel 26.2 miles if his average speed was 18 miles per hour. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer (3)

d = r t 26.2 = 18 t 18 26.2 ​ = 18 18 t ​ 1.45555555555556 = t
So, to round to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 1.5 hours.

To solve for time (t) when given the distance (d) and the rate or speed (r), use the formula t=d/r. By substituting the given values (d=26.2 miles, r=18 mph) and performing the calculation, we find that it takes approximately 1.46 hours, when rounded to the nearest hundredth. ;

To find time t using the formula d = r t , we divide distance d by rate r . For Van Dyk's trip of 26.2 miles at 18 miles per hour, the calculated time is approximately 1.46 hours. Therefore, it would take about 1.46 hours for the trip.
