In one hour Dele walks 8km. How long will it take her to walk 14km at the same rate?
To find out how long it will take Dele to walk 14km at the same rate, we can use the equation d = rt, where d represents the distance, r represents the rate, and t represents the time.
We know that in one hour Dele walks 8km, so we can set up the equation as follows:
8 = r * 1
To find the rate, we divide both sides of the equation by 1:
8/1 = r
Therefore, Dele's rate is 8 km/h.
Now we can use this rate to find out how long it will take her to walk 14km. We can set up the equation as follows:
14 = 8 * t
To find t, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
14/8 = t
Simplifying the equation, we get:
1.75 = t
Therefore, it will take Dele 1.75 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk 14km at the same rate.
