Investigation 1 Practice

Frieda took a 6 hour bike trip.  She traveled a total of 100 miles.  How fast was she going?  What formula will you need to solve this problem?

• d = x _f - x _i
• d = v x t

• t = t _f - t _i

• v = d / t

Jamie traveled at a speed of 20 km/h for 6 hours.  How far did she go?  What formula will you need to solve this problem?
