Ashleigh rode her bicycle 26.5 miles in 4 hours. Which is the best estimate of how far Ashleigh rode in 1 hour?

Ashleigh rode about 6.625 miles an hour.
if she rode 26.5 miles in 4 exact hours, we need to divide 26.5 by 4 to obtain what she rode in each hour (given that she rode the same speed during the 4 hours and took no breaks)
26.5 ÷ 4 = 6.625

The question asks for the best estimate of how far Ashleigh rode her bicycle in 1 hour given she rode 26.5 miles in 4 hours.
To calculate the distance Ashleigh traveled in one hour, we need to divide the total distance by the total time. This is how we calculate average speed.
So, we take the total distance of 26.5 miles and divide by the total time of 4 hours, which gives us:
26.5 miles ÷ 4 hours = 6.625 miles per hour
Thus, Ashleigh's average speed is 6.625 miles per hour, and that would be the best estimate of how far she rode her bicycle in 1 hour.
