Questions: Lashonda is riding her bicycle. She rides at a speed of 13 kilometers per hour for 83.2 kilometers. For how many hours does she ride?

Solution Steps

• Speed $v = 13$ kilometers per hour.
• Distance $d = 83.2$ kilometers.

The formula to calculate time is: $$t = \frac{d}{v}$$ where $t$ is time, $d$ is distance, and $v$ is speed.

Substitute $d = 83.2$ and $v = 13$ into the formula: $$t = \frac{83.2}{13}$$

Calculate the value of $t$: $$t = 6.4 \text{ hours}$$
