ALGEBRA 1 HELP Relate:Tour de France average speed equals295-km trip average speed In 2000, Lance Armstrong completed the 3630-km Tour de France course in 92.5 hours. Traveling at his average speed, how long would it take Lance Armstrong to ride 295 km? = 295 t 3630t = 92.5(295)Write cross products. t 7.5Simplify. Round to the nearest tenth. Traveling at his average speed, it would take Lance approximately 7.5 hours to cycle 295 km. t = Divide each side by (295) 3630 Define:Let t = time needed to ride 295 km kilometers hours Write: = 295 t Ratio and Proportion LESSON 2-4 Additional Examples Quick Check
