You backpacked for a distance of 15.75 miles today. If you backpacked at an average speed of 1.26 miles per hour, how many hours did you spend backpacking today
Hi there!
First, speed=Distance/time, and the time=distance/speed. The time spent for back packing was 15.75/1.26=12.5 hours. Therefore, the answer is 12.5 hours.
