![**Unit 2: Problem-Solving with Distance and Time**
**Problem Statement:**
Cole biked at 5 mph for \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) hours. Which of the following choices show how far he biked?
- A) 5.5 miles
- B) 6.5 miles
- C) 7.5 miles
- D) 10 miles
**Explanation:**
To determine how far Cole biked, we need to use the formula for distance, which is:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]
Here, the speed is 5 mph, and the time is \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) hours, which can be converted to 1.5 hours. Now, we multiply the speed by the time:
\[ \text{Distance} = 5 \, \text{mph} \times 1.5 \, \text{hours} = 7.5 \, \text{miles} \]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C) 7.5 miles](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6036c7ed-53d1-4846-ab4e-c8ad76b07d27%2F8177eae1-860a-4c06-b03f-46442318cbb4%2Fsg232jd_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
