Answer 1

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of cyclist = 10 miles per hour

given 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometres.

1*10 miles will be equal to 1.6*10 kilometres

thus , 10 mile is equal to 16 kilometres

using 16 km in place of 10 miles in 10 miles per hour

we have

speed of cyclist = 16 kilometres per hour

we know that distance = speed * time

speed is 16 kilometres per hour

time 4 hours

thus , distance = 16*4 kilometres= 64 kilometres.

cyclist will travel 64 kilometres in 4 hours.
