Solve the word problem. the formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. a bicyclist rides at a constant rate of 15 miles per hour. how many miles will he travel in 3.5 hours? a. 4.3 miles b. 18.5 miles c. 23.3 miles d. 52.5 miles

In order to solve this problem all you have to do is multiply 15 by 3.5 which equals 52.5

So the answer is D. 52.5 miles!

The answer is D. 52.5 miles. You have to take the given information (rate and time) and substitute it in the equation (d=rt). The makes the equation d=15x3.5  . Solve the equation to find the distance. 15x3.5=52.5, choice D.

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
