Suppose it took 19 riders a total of 11 days 21 hours to ride from St. Joseph to Sacramento. If they all rode the same number of hours, how many hours did each rider ride?

I’m not sure if I’m right but I tried.First I multiplied 11 times 24,because there's 24 hours in a day,then I got 264. So then I added 21 hours more to it, so then I got 285.So then I divided 285 out of 19,since there is 19 riders, and I got 15. So 15 might be the answer to the problem. (But I’m still not sure, atleast I tried right?)   

Answer:

The number of hours each riders ride = 15 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

19 riders = 11 days 21 hours to ride from St.Joseph to Sacramento

Let's find the number of hours taken.

1 day = 24 hours.

11 days = 11 times 24 = 264 hours

So, 11 days 21 hours = 264 + 21 = 285 hours

19 riders rode the same number of hours.

To find the each rider ride, we need to divide 285 by 19.

The number of hours each rider ride = \(\frac{285}{19} = 15\) hours.
