The distance that Maurice traveled in 2.5 hours riding his bicycle can be found by using the formula d=rt, where d is the distance traveled, r is the rate, and t is the time. How far did Maurice travel if he traveled at a rate of 16 miles per hour?

40

Explanation:

So in d=rt the rate is 16 miles per hour and the time is 2.5, you need to simply multiply the rate and time to get the distance which is 40
