Jordan bikes at a speed of 8 2/3 mph. How many miles will he bike in:

the distance covered is 26.87 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the distance covered is shown below:

As we know that

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

where

Speed is 8 2 ÷ 3 = 26 ÷ 3

And, the time required is 3 hours and 6 minutes i.e. 3 hours and 6 ÷ 60 = 3.1 hours

Now the distance covered is

= 26 ÷ 3 × 3.1

= 26.87 miles

hence, the distance covered is 26.87 miles

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
