Paul is riding his bike 48 miles to the beach. His average rate of speed is 13.8 miles per hour. Paul stopped for a snack after 3 hours. How many miles does he have to go after his snack? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Paul has 3.5 miles to go after his snack.
Paul has 6.6 miles to go after his snack.
Paul has 34.2 miles to go after his snack.
Paul has 45.0 miles to go after his snack.

Paul has 6.6 miles to go after his snack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of moving. The speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took.

speed= distance/time  , v=d/t

So,from Paul's average speed we can calculate how much distance he has passed after 3 hours.

distance_3h=v*t=13.8 miles per hour * 3 hours

distance_3h=41.4 miles

There are total 48 miles to the beach, so Paul have to go 48miles-distance_3h after his snack, which gives:

48-41.4=6.6 miles

18.75 gallons
